A Love Letter To Greece In Her Difficult Times
When I told people that I would be going to spend over a month in Greece this past spring, I got some interesting responses. “Isn’t it dangerous right now? Will the ATM’s work? Aren’t there refugees?

The Powerful Reasons You Should Follow Your Dreams
“Since the dawn of time, people have been trying to influence the thoughts and emotions of others. Our culture took yet another turn toward something unreal after the Second World War, and we’ve been trying to make sense of it ever since. A fair amount of thinking went into fabricating our identity after the war because we had to identify our ethos in contrast to the philosophies of communism and socialism, which had created our new nemesis.
