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 [...]
The 12 Days of Christmas: Opening Your Heart to Love The Christmas season isn’t just about what we decorate, buy, or receive—it’s about what we embody. When we live in the spirit of Christmas—love, generosity, forgiveness, peace—we naturally soften. And when we soften, we open. Love doesn’t enter a guarded, exhausted, [...]
A holiday self-check for your heart, your boundaries, and your emotional wellbeing. The holidays have a way of illuminating the truth. For some, this time of year brings warmth, connection, shared traditions, and the feeling of being deeply loved. But for others, the holiday season brings a quiet awareness —the sense [...]

It's Was More Than A Backache When I discovered that an old back injury I thought was long healed actually stemmed from a violent incident in my past, I was reminded of something profound: the body really does keep the score. For many of us who’ve experienced trauma — whether through domestic violence, [...]
When I was interviewed by CNN about Cassie Ventura’s courage in speaking out, I said then what I’ll say now: victim shaming will never silence women who refuse to bury their truth. Cassie’s decision to come forward with her story was not just brave—it was necessary.Now that Sean "Diddy" Combs has been sentenced to more [...]
When I read the news on Reuters, that Nicole Kidman’s husband had suddenly asked for a divorce — after years of marriage, sobriety clauses in their prenup, and what seemed like deep devotion — my heart went out to her. Some are calling her foolish for marrying for love, but I disagree. [...]
I recently streamed The Girlfriend on Amazon Prime, starring Robin Wright as Laura, the protective mother of Daniel, who falls head-over-heels for a girl named Cherry.
