The door closes. They are gone. That part of your life is now in the past, and the one you loved is yours no more. Sometimes, a break-up will be filled with immediate relief (mostly, it will be filled with sadness) but this scenario has the potential to tear your heart from your chest and […]
Regardless of your political beliefs, the constant barrage of news and debates can be frustrating and exhausting. It is hard to go anywhere, physically or virtually, without finding the various issues of the day being discussed and analysed. The stress created by conversations related to political ideologies only seems to increase over time. It is […]
We live in crazy, unpredictable, sometimes amazing, and sometimes troubling, times. Our world is in upheaval. We balance precariously between the good and the bad, the danger and the grace. Will we see another world war? Will our planet be ripped apart by natural disasters and decline caused by climate change? Will we see the […]
Growing up, I never liked working within teams. Negative experiences at school and early jobs I held marred my judgment and frequently curbed my enthusiasm to collaborate. I am a type A personality, a very hard worker and a perfectionist at heart – I always expect high quality. Working with others who didn’t take their […]

Sometimes we awaken to gratitude when we are overjoyed at the abundance of our lives and are thankful. Just as often it […]
The other day my 4-year-old stood up on a kitchen chair, pointed a finger at his Dad and said, loudly, “Hey, hey, stop talking over me. You’re talking over me.” While I originally brought it up to a friend of mine as a cute, clever story about my child, it sparked a conversation about how […]
One of my favorite books, The Celestine Prophecy, introduced me to the idea of Control Dramas, of which there are four (Intimidator, Interrogator/Critic, Aloof, and Poor Me).
