When we started several years ago, our goal was to explore Silicon Valley (aka "The Valley of Heart's Delight"), in part to show people there was more to the Bay Area than San Francisco.  Now we've visited just about every local museum from Gilroy to Santa Cruz to Millbrae, so we tend to journey farther afield for cultural/historical walks and day trips.  Our events include mundane after-work "well, it's better than just sitting on the couch" walks in local neighborhoods as well as more ambitiou …

We often think of life as a struggle to have things (time, money, success etc.), so that we can do things (have fun with kids, buy the mansion, revive the relationship), so that we can be something (be happy, content, peaceful). Is it possible we’ve got this reversed? Is it possible that we first need to be in a certain state, that will in turn inspire us to do things, and that in turn will attract the things we want. I think there is something to it and a lot of us are discovering exactly this. …
