Clearing Your Head

There are lots of ways to clear your head.  Meditation is the first one that comes to mind for me.  Prayer also works for me and I hope it does for you as well.  Talking through a problem or situation with someone else can also give us great clarity.  I am going to write about [...]

Are You Asking the Right Questions?

Our lives have been turned upside down.  Some people are struggling with the new normal.  I am not immune to this struggle.  Sometimes I think I live in a bubble in New York and that is why I love traveling across the country so much.  I get to make friends and see how people live [...]

Writing Letters for Students and Teachers

Last week a teacher reached out to me about her students.  She was having trouble connecting with them and engaging them through virtual learning platforms.  She is a teacher of hearing impaired students.  After I read her note all I could think of was "write to them".  Don't write them an email.  Don't write them [...]

My gratitude list [...]

School Visits

As I finished up the school year of speaking I wanted to share some thoughts about what I learned this year. I knew this already but it was strongly reinforced after every school assembly that I delivered. My speaking topics were dignity, respect, and compassion. I also speak about addiction and mental health issues in [...]
