In 2014, I wrote a post about Valentine’s Day and the reason we celebrate it at all. Not the prix fixe dinners.Not the heart-shaped boxes.Not the pressure. But the man. Saint Valentine. A priest who believed so deeply in love and the sanctity of marriage that he defied the government of [...]
As the year comes to a close, I began reflecting. I looked at my health—check. Then my relationships—check. And finally, my business—and that’s where I noticed a change. During the COVID pandemic my clientele shifted. High-paying professionals such as neurologists, estate lawyers, engineers, and radiologists became teachers, social workers, and nurses. Then [...]

Finally—it’s the “Ber months”! My favorite time of year: cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, warm blankets, and autumn colors everywhere. I even treated myself to a new pair of Adidas sneakers to kick off the season. But beyond all the seasonal feels, what really matters is this: love. Family gatherings, festive treats, and cozy vibes [...]
When it comes to finding love, there is no cookie-cutter formula because every person is unique. No one thinks, speaks, or loves exactly the way you do, not even if you’re an identical twin. You are absolutely unique and perfectly made just as you are. Therefore, when it comes to finding your [...]
