Here’s the truth right off the bat. When you lose a loved one, conversations become awkward. People fumble for words. They feel sorrow on your behalf. Often, they want to help. Many will reflexively ask how can I help? Meanwhile, you feel overwhelmed and bombarded. You may find […]
I’ve been in non-stop back-to-back meetings. And, these are not meetings where I just sit and listen. I talk. Then laugh. Then talk some more. It’s rather tiring. It feels like every thought has already been said. Why must we repeat ourselves so often? I’m almost at the […]

I’m tired. I don’t know whether I gained or lost an hour. I tossed and turned. I had even napped. Yet, I’m tired. I’m groggy and foggy, although not soggy. My mind is rattled. All over the place. Time change does that. Inertia does that. The weight of […]
