Life has presented me with a little twist in the plan. For many years now it is like clockwork that I would pack my bag and make my way to Heathrow airport during the Labor Day weekend for a two week stay in my other home, London, England. This year, however, looks to be a [...]
Yesterday I had my tarot read. The experience was golden for me. It was atmospheric, jovial, educational, uplifting, provocative and thought provoking. Sometimes when I have a tarot reading the result is interesting but doesn’t always relate much to the world I understand. Granted… perhaps the reading would be more suited to areas I am [...]
Raise your hand if you know what an empath is. For those of you who haven’t raised their hands: An empath is a person who has an acute or highly developed sense of empathy. Empathy is a paranormal or psychic ability to sense the emotions of others. It is distinguished from telepathy, which allows one [...]
It’s been far too long. I am committing to a new cycle of writing that will chronicle the best of me and the worst of me in segments small and large. I am a writer. I have been journaling specifically when I knew deep within that I should be writing for others as well. Granted… [...]
I remember the start of this love affair well. I took a much deserved day off from the office on Friday November 14, 2008. It was one of those vacation days I would lose if I didn’t take it. I had read that a film was opening by a director I have always enjoyed, Danny [...]

At least that is what it feels like. But alas, I am an over-thinker. I am the sort that analyzes and then analyzes the analyzation. I think and then I take notes. I worry and I obsess. Is this depression or just another seasonal rut? What if I told you that I have no freaking [...]
Tonight I am proud. I feel elation and I am hopeful for the future. What I have witnessed, like so many others, is history. What I have seen made me cry a combination of tears of joy and stress relief. I stood in front of my TV and watched both an eloquent and sincere concession [...]
Catchy, eh? Perhaps a bit bold of a statement? The United States is in the heat, and the final stretch of a very trying part of our history. It is a chapter that could spell a change for the better or more of the same in a slow, but quickly speeding up downward spiral of [...]
Perhaps that is slightly dramatic… but it got your attention did it not? Politics in these next couple of weeks will become a wilder ride than we’ve had for years. It has been, up until this point, pretty shameful and rather scary to hear the accusations and smear tactics heaped on top of an already [...]
