Recently a friend shared an article entitled Einstein Letter to His Daughter on the Universal Force of Love. The article is very touching and one I think readers might enjoy too. And this sparked for me many questions about love: what is it, when and how is it experienced, why do we crave being in […]
Are You Good at Prioritizing?
Recently I had a conversation with a friend about the struggles we have prioritizing our lives. It seems like there are so many needs, issues, demands for our time and energy by those around us – kids, family, work, responsibilities around our homes, in groups we are a part of, in meeting our own needs, to […]
The Recipe for “Opinion Soup”
We live in an opinionated world. Or maybe I should say, in my opinion, we live in an opinionated world. Opinions impact our thoughts, beliefs and behaviors.

Most people who were born sometime in the late 1990s and before can vividly remember the horrible scenes of the attack in New York on the World Trade Towers as well as the attack at the Pentagon and the plane crash in Shanksville, PA. Nearly 3000 people died that day along with our belief that […]

Trauma-Informed Responses to COVID-19
I think most of us are caught up with varying levels of concern, fear and anxiety for our families, ourselves, our communities, our nation and our world as each day brings new updates on the coronavirus.

What Is The Rate of Childhood Deaths in the U.S. Compared to Other Countries?
As I was browsing news articles, I ran across this recently published study: a child born in the United States has a 70 percent greater chance of dying before adulthood than kids born into other wealthy, democratic countries.
