“…
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree

Well heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list
…”

May your holiday season be filled with an abundance of joy, laughter and love.

Warmest Regards,
Shiela Hizon

It’s mid-September and I’m still posting about Summer. The heat in California has been consistent all summer long and it feels like it just might stay through Fall. Many are exasperated by it and can’t wait to feel that shift in the temperature. But there are others who just can’t help but enjoy it.

Fire it up and have a barbecue…

… or a picnic with friends and family.

Strawberry Season? Yes, it’s in the summer!

It’s timeless. The game can be played anywhere at any time. It’s master plan has one end: checkmate.

It’s black’s move.
