The Art of Understanding Others (Without Losing my Mind)

What skills or lessons have you learned recently? In an increasingly polarized world, it’s easier than ever to believe that our way of thinking is the only way. After all, we have algorithms to confirm our opinions, friends who nod vigorously at everything we say, and families who (for the most part) learned long agoContinueContinue reading “The Art of Understanding Others (Without Losing my Mind)”

Trite but True

Let’s face it: clichés get a bad rap. We roll our eyes at them, dismiss them as lazy thinking, and slap them on tacky motivational posters that no one buys.

The Bridge I cross every night is called Sleep

Sleep is the only bridge I know of that allows me to time travel and to break free of any barriers we contend with on this physical plane.

A Relaxed Italian Getaway: Balancing Sightseeing and Seaside Serenity

I’ve been living in Italy for two decades now, and on my first trip to Italy from Canada, I assumed that given the land mass of Italy compared to Canada, I’d be able to see a good deal in three weeks. And I did, but nowhere as much as I had imagined. Italy is soContinueContinue reading “A Relaxed Italian Getaway: Balancing Sightseeing and Seaside Serenity”
