Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me


What is there not to love about this most beautiful of cities by the bay?

A few years before my dad died, he would often wax poetic about this city which he loved very much. “If there is one place you must see before you die. it has to be San Francisco.” Eerie when I think about it now.

I’ve been blessed to be able to return to this city several times, and yet, each visit brings with it new blessings and gifts, and I fall in love all over again.

This year, was extra special because I had the privilege of reading my children’s book, “Heaven’s Butterfly” to the students of Bessie Carmichael Elementary School in downtown San Francisco and at the St. Charles Catholic School in the Mission district. I know now that there is no coincidence in the fact that one of those days, was my dad’s death anniversary. Everything just fell into place.

San Francisco will always be my favorite city, next to home. I look forward to seeing her once more in His time.
