More and more we hear about aging parents that many of you are busy taking care of. It is frustrating at times and mainly painful and exhausting. I want to share a tip my group of volunteers got a few years ago from a very smart social worker. She said that if a family can afford to pay for the physical care, she urges everyone to do so. The bathing, dressing, preparing the bed and caring physically will be covered so the care giver can be free to give the emotional support the patient needs the most. When we act out of guilt things get messy. We feel we are the ones that need to do everything so the cared...
Last week Fatima and I had a rare opportunity to meet for a few days in the land of love, wine and food - Italy. As part of our vacation wardrobing, we each packed some ALEMBIKA Resort '19. It's so much fun when you can "wear your job" on vacation :).

We felt so glamorous! The breathable fabrics allowed us to walk around looking Milan worthy while still feeling fresh and cool!...
I took a week vacation in Venice with my sister. We were there to visit the Venice Biennale art project which hosts 80 artists from 80 countries under one curation, a city wide art exhibition.

The Venice Biennale theme this year was "May we live in interesting times" . I like that title! Interesting times keep me hopeful and curious. The artists discussed a wide range of topics including immigration, gender, water, weather, death, separations, loss, borders, sex, tradition and rituals, thirst and hunger, displacement, disasters, unheard...

Last week was the International Women Health week. There are so many ways to talk about our mental and physical well being and so many ways to practice them. I come to understand that my way doesn't have to be anyone else's way. I think that there is nothing wrong with eating eggs. My friend thinks it's really bad for you. OK! I know that for me the 3 things that help me stay sane and healthy are: * To always remember how temporary I am. * To eat everything that makes me happy just in moderation. * To try and come back to the present moment as much as I can. What is your way to stay healthy in...
