The lifelong romance – the friend that will stick with us through thick and thin – the championship team that exceeds everyone’s expectations. So many of us struggle with a mind of lack, which not only leads us to miss much of the greatness already in our lives but also drives us to chase phantoms.
Grace Under Pressure
Most of us never fully understand how some people suffer from non-visible afflictions, every day. How we might better learn to “be there” for them is up to us to understand.

At a time when I needed my family and friends the most, they were there. A story of love, and how a wooden bowl became a symbol of everything beautiful at a time when it felt like life was anything but.
Holy Blue Quantum Particles, Batman!

The Mastodon in the Room
Friendship, hurt, betrayal, and trampling of values. Lessons learned in life which make you stronger.
Multiculturalism in Action
The spacious dining room was buzzing with the lively accents of women from Israel, Hong Kong, Germany and the Philippines.
