    Several years ago, I was having lunch with two girlfriends. One was a no-makeup, Birks-and-jeans boho gal.

    When Mark Twain was quoted saying, “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco,” he must not have had a summer solstice like this one!

    My clients come into my office and one of the first things they ask me is, Christine, when are you going to start writing something again? I  usually smile, shrug and offer up something about how I do need to do that. It’s simple talk. Because the truth is, my thoughts run deep, and more…
