Life is full of decisions and difficult choices, and the ensuing evaluation process can be a numbing experience even when the options you are facing are positive.  I remember a few years ago when I had three amazing job interviews that would require relocation to three different cities.  Naturally, I agonized for days, vacillating between […]

This is not my story but, rather, a story that pertains to all of us. As we all try to manage our lives on our personal journey – the struggles and challenges that confront us – unbeknownst to us, there is a higher purpose to our daily existence. A far greater calling. But we cannot see […]

Life is not easy without inner peace. But so many of us have it backwards as we try to change our external world in the hope of creating a peaceful life.  The reality is that when we find peace inside ourselves, the external world matters far less. We tell ourselves: if I can just get […]

The combination of COVID, winter fast approaching and technology has created a dangerous trifecta: we never have to or feel the need to leave our house again. We can shut it all down, quarantining, binging on Netflix and YouTube videos. We can work from home, zooming our colleagues and clients. Every restaurant delivers and groceries […]
