Baby Showers Make You Reflect
UNITED STATES—I recently attended a baby shower of a family member and wow, it is amazing to see the journey of people.

What Would People Do Without Social Media?
UNITED STATES—I think this is something that very much could become a reality, but I don’t think much of America sees it that way. We have so much talk these days about technology and Artificial Intelligence and how it is dominating the lives of Americans. Recently, I read news from actors Chris Evans and Taron Egerton who noted they...
Sleeping Blues
UNITED STATES—We have had this conversation before and we are having it again because I think sleep is one of the most important things in life, especially when it comes to your health.

Rollercoaster Thrill-Seeker
HOLLYWOOD—I love rollercoasters America. I think I have always loved them since I was old and TALL enough to ride them. There is something about having that suspension of control.

The Visit With The Heart Doctor
UNITED STATES—I will be the first to admit this, I do not like going to the doctor. I actually have a fear of going to the doctor. I fear that aspect of receiving bad news and that paralyzes me completely. I recently got news after a doctor visit that caught the attention of my Primary Care Physician. He said...
Sleep Stress: Part II
UNITED STATES—Last week’s column we talked about sleep in general and addressed a lot of issues that people face in general when it comes to attempting to get quality sleep.

Higher Education Woes: Graduate School
UNITED STATES—After completing my undergraduate degree in 2008/2009, I had it made up in my mind that was it for me when it came to my college education. I didn’t want to pursue it any further. Why? Not only was it the costs, but the idea of being in a classroom didn’t excite me people. However, I consider the...
