How Are You at Significant Relationships?
Neuroscience research tells us we are social animals. Our relationships nurture and even sustain our lives. They provide comfort, meaning, motivation to connect, share, enjoy and with a few very special relationships, to experience deep love.

In Light of the Latest Election Do We Assess or Judge?
I believe it is our job as human beings to figure out our mission and decide how we are going to conduct ourselves in the world as it relates to our family, our friends, our colleagues, our communities, our region, state, country.
