I’m the first one to admit, I’m not much into horse racing, yet there’s something about the Kentucky Derby that is so interesting… Is it the hats, the roses or the names… Perhaps it’s the glamorous hats everyone wears which are reminiscent of the fascinators more commonly found in England. It might be the day […]
With Memorial Day approaching this month, a favorite quote of mine comes from F. Scott Fitzgerald. He said, “For what it’s worth… it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. [sic] […]
Life is better when you’re laughing. When’s the last time you had a good belly laugh with your spouse or partner? Can’t remember? You’re overdue for a good laugh, then.

Every so often a bit of self-disclosure from your therapist is necessary, helpful even, to put into perspective that we […]
How’s your relationship been feeling lately? Any fever, aches, pains? What about congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes? No? Okay. What about communication, how often are you and your partner communicating? Hourly throughout the day, every few hours, or just once when you get home before you go bed reporting back what I call “the business […]
“Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have 24 hours in a day.” – Zig Ziglar The New Year is here! The bottles have been popped, resolutions made, and the gyms crowded with “resolutioners” who many habitual gym goers believe (or hope) will be gone by the first week of […]
Happy New Year! It’s the second week of January and I hope you’re still riding the excitement of New Year’s, perhaps even enjoying the last (or first) of your vacation time.

Have you ever wondered what the entire lyrics are to the traditional New Year’s Song, “Auld Lang Syne”? Better yet, have you ever wondered why it would ask, “Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?” and do you know your answer to the question?
