My blog
This is a blog where my thoughts and stories will be on display. Many years ago I had an amazing coincidence that drew from very different parts of my life. Since then the pace picked up and now it’s “hailing”.  I keep an email diary and also hard cover journals recording what’s happening in my own, small life. I call the Diary, My God of Coincidence. This Blog is a celebration of friendship and love. What else is there?

This evening I attended the musical tribute to Lorraine Hunt Lieberson at Emmanuel Church. The music was divine and the tributes to a wonderful musician and operatic singer, truly moving.
