Finding Peace
Before September 11, evil of this magnitude was impossible to think about. The idea that it could happen in the United States seemed ridiculous. The attacks happened years ago, but it hurts as if it was yesterday.
There's a line in a poem by Emily Dickinson that describes the process of grieving as, "first – Chill– then Stupor – then... >Read More

Where Do We Go From Here?
There must be a thousand clichés about finding direction. If you do a Google search you’ll find everything from the classic “follow your bliss”, to the iconic but less helpful “wherever you go, there you are”. “Follow your bliss” is excellent advice, if you happen to know what your bliss is.

I'd Love To...If I Can Find A Sitter
Life is stressful enough without having to juggle a dozen things and still worry about finding a sitter.
