I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
Carpe diem. You only live once. Seize the Day. And so on. These are all phrases that can sound so trite. But guess what. That moment does indeed pass. What do you want to do about it? Watch the ship pass you by, while the bird flies away […]
Summer is coming, supposedly. We just celebrated Memorial Day and barbeque parties have already begun to fill the suburban landscape. We were supposed to have a heat wave this week in New York (you know three days in a row of 90 degree weather) but that may have […]
Walking down a quiet random alley in the middle of Curacao, I came across a tribute to an unknown individual and found a moment of peace and beauty: a loved one left behind will find their own way of honoring one’s legacy.

No matter what your child says or does, stand by them and love them. All of us must find our own way, and live up to our own decisions whatever they may be. Love them stronger than their actions or words, love them because they are your children.-Anonymous […]
