The Reinvention Project is for those of us who believed we were on the road to reinventing ourselves, are just embarking on the journey of reinvention or are giving reinvention a lot of thought. Maybe we took a side trip off the road or maybe we can’t find the entrance to the highway, but we’re still taking the journey together and hopefully we can share our adventure.

Wherever You’re Going, I’m Going Your Way

The Theme of the 1997-1998 Harvard Seminar on Environmental Values was Water – Symbol and Substance of Life: Toward a New Environmental Ethic. The seminar points out that human society has had a close relationship with water that permeated our myths, our religions, our folklore and, most important,

My Heart Would Never Stray One Dream Away

Old boyfriends. They pop up out of nowhere, yet are usually out of reach. We’re happy to find them because we always wondered if they were dead. They send a chill through us when they re-appear. This may be because of the shock at their dissipation or this may be because of nostalgia. We don’t [...]

That Weirdo With Five Colours in Her Hair

I am reading Father Struck It Rich, the autobiography of Evalyn Walsh McLean, wife of Edward (Ned) Beale McLean, once the owner of the Washington Post. The McLeans were also the last owners of the Hope Diamond and their story promises to be wild and wooly for many reasons. Evalyn’s own words in the

Stealing A View From The Bridge

As John Lennon wrote “when I was younger, so much younger than today”, I had a sleek, shiny Motobecane Super Mirage. It was silvery blue, had ten speeds and little narrow tires. It was light as air and I could carry it easily up stairs if needed. My bike was my primary form of transportation. [...]

All I Am Is Just A House Dog; Just A House Dog, Nothing More

When I reflect on my life, particularly in light of all the places I’ve lived, I have to admit that many of the decisions I’ve made were arrived at as being in the best interest of my dog. I am someone who now recognizes people I see out in the world and then, before I greet [...]

Depending Upon The Kindness Of Genes

In his typically hip way of being in the world, the Dalai Lama is on Facebook. His posts are always about compassion towards all sentient beings and altruism. Altruism to the Dalai Lama is blind – it’s done unconsciously with no thought of personal gain, though we know there is personal gain in our

The Wand’rin’ Experiment

When I went to see the film of Paint Your Wagon, in a time long gone by, the song I most identified with was “sung” by Lee Marvin near the end of the movie – “Wand’rin’ Star.” The film deviated drastically from the original stage version. The stage show involved an interracial relationship; the film

Dreading Reaction?

Part of reinventing yourself involves appearance. Every now and then we need a change; we need to shake it up; we need a reaction. And there’s nothing better for creating reaction than hair. My new, and quite beautiful, Fodor’s guide to Oregon (written by Judy Jewell) states that “there are probably

But I’m Only A Cock-Eyed You-Know-What (And I Can’t Get It Out Of My Head)

Optimists: People who are so pleasant you want to swat them. Smiley faces and “have a nice day” and we’re sure they don’t mean it, especially when we’re feeling the opposite, which is most of the time. We laugh at optimists. After all, isn’t the world is going to hell? We live in a society [...]

With That Upturned Chin And That Grin Of Impetuous Youth

I have been reading Dickens. You know, Chuck Dickens? And true to form, Chuck starts many, if not all, novels with a wild card of sorts. We’re introduced to characters, location and situation that will, in the next chapter, disappear and travel a different road while new characters, location and sit
