Today’s First (Community Free Day at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center) was quite educational, I will provide bullet points of what I learned. As for the bones below: This is the blue whale skeleton that sits outside the center that washed ashore near Pescadero (north), in September of 1979. Students, scientists and volunteers from UC SantaContinue reading “Day 34- Ocean Exploration at Marine Center”

Day 33 – Pay it forward
Today’s first was inspired by words that happened to cross my path “Today I will exercise my soul by doing somebody I don’t know a good turn, and not get found out; if anybody knows of it, it will not count”. Being away from my network of friends, I knew I would be doing a kindContinue reading “Day 33 – Pay it forward”
Day 32 – Music and Brew
Tagline for tonight’s venue: “Drink. Eat. Repeat.” (Way to live it right, Discretion Brewing!) Today’s first for the “1 new thing a day for 100 days” new years res was refreshing not only for the tastebuds, but for the heart. There’s nothing quite like live music to bring one more into the PRESENT,Continue reading “Day 32 – Music and Brew”
Day 31- a taste of nature’s music – Fall Creek
What Magic. Isn’t it wild to think of the interconnectedness of the roots of the trees in a redwood forest? The entire forest is actually one large organism. As we look at the individual trees, it is easy to forget that what allows them to grow so tall and keeps them so stable is the vastContinue reading “Day 31- a taste of nature’s music – Fall Creek”
Day 30- Bubble Yum in SLO
Today’s First – Walked down Bubblegum Alley in San Luis Obispo, CA This was awesome! Thought it was a joke when I read about it online. (btw there is a candy shop located conveniently 1 block away on Higuera should you, like myself, not be one to carry bubblegum) “Bubblegum Alley is a tourist attractionContinue reading “Day 30- Bubble Yum in SLO”
Day 29 – Santa Barbara Sunset
Today’s first – watched the sunset (tailend of it!) from Arroyo Burro State Beach in Santa Barbara (aka Hendry’s beach by local residents). It was one of those sandy sunsets that enlivens the soul, wish I had pictures to do it justice. But you had to be there.. romanced by the smell of the sea,Continue reading “Day 29 – Santa Barbara Sunset”
Day 28 – DIY Scrabble Letter Coasters
Today’s first: Craft project (super quick and easy!) Coaster making with cork and Scrabble Letters. You can order the letters on Amazon for a few bucks and pick up cork/glue at a local crafts store. We were lazy and grabbed a few coasters from our hotel bar 🙂 Fun times.. getting creative always feeds theContinue reading “Day 28 – DIY Scrabble Letter Coasters”
Day 27- Heels over Head!
Today’s first for the ‘1 new thing a day for 100 days’ NY res was acroyoga with my older sis, Fran. She was a ROCKSTAR base, I was super impressed by her. I have minimal to no experience as a ‘flyer’ (the person up top.in air), but from the little I do, I know theContinue reading “Day 27- Heels over Head!”
Day 26 -Outdoor sidewalk chess with Sis Fran – alas, a draw…
Today’s First: Played outdoor chess with my sister, we are down in Carlsbad for some sister time. Game ended in a draw (tie). What I like most about doing this blog is that it gives me the accountability to learn something I perhaps wouldn’t be inclined to given my typical daily ‘routine’. A bit aboutContinue reading “Day 26 -Outdoor sidewalk chess with Sis Fran – alas, a draw…”
Day 25 – purchased (76.5% financed a pre owned Vdub..still hasn’t hit me!
Well my goodness today was certainly a first for this minimalist! I flew from San Jose to Los Angeles ( The dealer agreed to pay for flight, good lesson on the benefits of negotiation!). I have been in the market for a car for sometime now, felt good to find a good deal afterContinue reading “Day 25 – purchased (76.5% financed a pre owned Vdub..still hasn’t hit me!”
