Solo TravelerWhile on a family trip to the Dallas zoo, in the late 60s, my father spotted a man cleaning out the yak enclosure. He asked if he could have a small bag of yak poop. The man looked at him in horror, as if he imagined those little round balls might end up as a joke in somebody’s spaghetti sauce.
I was in junior high at the time, and got away from that conversation as fast as I could. My father seemed to delight in finding Read More

UCLA News:How The Hen House Turns—Chicken Moxie
How the Hen House TurnsLast week I reviewed our experience building the Hen House. What amazed me then, and still resonates now, is how the birds adapted to our ideas.
They laid eggs in the nest boxes. They entered the House at dusk and sat on the roosts to sleep. They drank from water jugs (cut down gallon plastic jugs), re-supplied their gizzards with oyster shells to grind their food (LA tuff doesn’t provide good hard pebbles for grit.), and ate their lay pellets laced with cracked corn.
Over its 40 years of intermittent occupancy, the Hen House provided Read More
Food on the Hill: A Lighter Eggplant Parmigiana
FOOD on the HILLI know that if I ask the husband what he wants for dinner, he is likely to say “vegetables in curry” or “eggplant parm.” (Either answer, of course, is better than “I don’t care,” which I find annoying and unhelpful, even if his intention is to convey that he’s flexible, or something.)
Although I’ve been cooking since I was a child, I had never prepared eggplant parmigiana before our marriage. When I did finally try to make it for dinner, I was put off by the amount of cheese, bread crumbs, frying oil and active time necessary to prepare it. Over the years I tried to reduce Read More

Smart Design With Suzette: Wall Art

Smart Design with Suzette Thomas Merton said, “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” Indeed, as a society, we are moved by great pieces of art. But has anyone ever tried to hang it?
Have you heard, “Hang art so that the center of the piece or grouping is at eye level?” But eye level is different for everyone. It’s not like we are all the same size!
Hanging Height
There’s no real hard and fast rules about the height you should hang pictures on the wall, but there are some guidelines and starting places that are proven and useful. Read More
Coaching Café: Self-fate
Coaching CaféIn one of the latest Coaching Café at Legacy Now Lived™, we discussed self-mastery and how by resonating at a high level of energy, we can oftentimes attract what we really do want into our lives.
What holds us back from living the lives we desire? Some people attribute the lack of having what they want to fate – that their lives are somehow “meant to be” the way they are. Many people don’t like the concept of fate, however, because it negates free will. But what if the traditional concepts of fate and free will were not the only reasons we are held back? An unusual Read More

Mrs. Beadsley’s Jewel Box: Look At The Markings
By DEBRA LOWENSTEIN, OwnerThis month I’d like to discuss the importance of markings on vintage jewelry. I talk to many people who own, collect and use vintage jewelry in their craft and jewelry making endeavors.
I ask them what markings they find on this jewelry and they tell me they never thought to look for markings. The markings you find on old jewelry can reveal much, such as where the piece was made, when it was created, the artist or company that made it and the metal content.
To find the markings on an old piece of jewelry generally requires a loupe or magnifying glass Read More

No one is too small to make a difference!
Feb. 8, Los Alamos firefighters packed the parking lot at First United Methodist Church (FUMC) with their fire engines and rescue equipment.
However, rather than responding to an emergency, the firefighters came to celebrate. This past year the Young Disciples of FUMC collected pennies, dimes, nickels, quarters or anything they could get their hands on to fund a new ministry called “B3,” which stands for Bear Blanket Bags.
