Summer is here - the Time is Right to Chill with Gary's Gems Ah, summer! The word conjures up images of sunny beaches, refreshing dips in the pool, and lazy afternoons spent lounging under the shade of a tree with a good book in hand.

Welcome Spring – Season of Hope and Rebirth

2023-06-07T15:50:48-04:00

Welcome Spring, Season of Hope and Rebirth It's spring and I’m back! I feel like Dolly Levi on top of the Harmonia Gardens' grand stairway being serenaded by the waiters…."Hello, Gary, Well, Hello Gary, It’s so nice to see the gems where they belong.” I can tell you now that if I [...]

Christmas Cards Are They Still a Thing – Gary December Gems

2023-06-07T15:32:36-04:00

Christmas Cards - Are They Still a Thing? Gary's December Gems I love Christmas even more than Halloween. The "BOO! BOO! BOO!" of ghosts becomes the "HO! HO! HO!" of Santa. Our hearts grow three sizes bigger this time of year.  As Auntie Mame sings, “We need a little Christmas right this very minute”. [...]

Gary’s November Gems – The Importance of Giving Attention

2022-10-26T17:29:17-04:00

Gary's November Gems - The Importance of Giving Attention Bragging is bad. That’s what most of us were raised to believe. People who brag crave attention.  Perhaps it’s because they’re narcissists or they sadly didn’t get enough attention as children. I got lots of attention at home - usually for the wrong reasons. I’m [...]

Gary October Gems, Harvesting History From Our Fields of Gold

2022-09-19T11:11:30-04:00

Harvesting Our History From the Gene Pool I love October. I love the crunch of leaves under my shoes and the amber glow of a tree’s canopy over my head. I much prefer the pleasures of hot chocolate, cozy sweaters, and crisp air to the unpleasantness of humidity, crazy cyclists, and mosquito bites. As [...]

Gary’s June Gems – The Pride and True Colours Issue

2022-06-01T08:49:28-04:00

Gary's June Gems - The Pride and True Colours Issue June is recognized in much of the "free" world as PRIDE Month. The 1969 Stonewall Uprising lit the match that ignited the gay rights movement in the United States and worldwide. As a "Boomer", I had a problematic relationship with the word "pride". After [...]

Gary’s May Gems – A Clarion Call For Civility

2022-04-30T11:10:08-04:00

Gary’s May Gems - A Clarion Call for Civility I’m nostalgic for civility. That quaint concept where we treated others with respect regardless of whether or not we agreed with their opinions. Politeness isn’t a bourgeois affectation. Being kind isn’t a sign of weakness.  And manners existed beyond the pages of Emily Post. Good [...]

Confidence the Greatest Gift of All - Gary's April Gems The greatest gift we can give our children is confidence.  Before they start school, home is their world to explore with new land around every corner, a new “thingy” to touch, smell and taste. And with every new discovery, they become more confident.  Have [...]
