I love rituals, well […]

In my new endeavor to highlight the individual behind the words (here on this blog), I will not shy away from discussing all aspects of my life that impact the writer/author that I have become. Though for many women this topic will be commonplace, there will be readers who will not see the connection between […]

Sharing the Path: Politics and Reality

I have often wondered how my background academic educational career in International Relations connects to the part of me that writes books on the body, mindfulness and philosophy. We are used to compartmentalizing different fields and pursuits instead of seeing them as part of a whole. It has only been in light of the recent […]

Sharing the Path: Guilt, Therapy and Self-Inquiry

As I have now been a self-published author for 6 years, have written two books and am 3 ½ years into my third, I would like to take this blog in a new direction. Thus far I have written in the style of the subject matters in my books. Being that there are many aspects […]
