For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Different Love in India
She joined the same team as I. She was a kind, a little bit shy person. When our manager asked me to teach her I gladly agreed. I guess I inherited some pedagogical skills from my parents, so teaching was something I enjoyed. We had daily meetings where I showed her how to use tools and other stuff we had, explained her daily duties, but I hardly got any questions from her and it made me doubt if she understood everything. Therefore, I decided to choose a more personal approach and build friendly relationship between us. And here started our friendship.

My Thoughts About #WereInThisTogether
You’ve been hearing celebrities and regular people repeatedly utter this slogan: “We’re in this together.” My question about that is are we? The coronavirus has taken the lives of over 3.5 million people globally and that stat is disturbing. The pandemic is a serious thing, but that phrase doesn’t sit well with me and I have some thoughts about it. You don’t have to agree with me, but I feel like I need to vent about a few things. These are my opinions and opinions alone.

Walk and Talk
He walks in the direction of his choosing, cigarette in hand, lost in his thoughts. “Well, that could’ve gone better!” But his mind does not leave it at better, in fact you could have said this, should have done that. There are so many things he would change if he could.

The Katonah Library Dedicates plaque in honor of Eleanor Hendrickson
With the explosion of information available on the internet these days, some may believe the community library can be easily replaced by more convenient megabytes or media players. Those people certainly cannot be found at the Katonah Library. "It really is the heart and soul of a community, and it is a place where everyone is welcome," said Inge Brown, president of the Katonah Library Art Gallery. And without dedicated librarians to stack the shelves, a library would function no better than a computer without a keyboard. That's why the Katonah Library will be dedicating a plaque in honor of the late Eleanor Hendrickson. Its director for almost 30 years, she not only had a lasting impact on the library, but on the village of Katonah.

A Coffee Hero
Ever since being a remote worker, basing myself in the corner of any coffee shop with a power supply and sturdy table, I have found the environment a fascinating world of stories, the crossing of paths or individual moments of peace, an inch away from the constant grind the other side of that steamed up window.

joy is as contagious as a strangers yawn
The potential of impacting one another deeply is a beautiful truth of being human. Sometimes I feel we forget how connected we are to one another, like heart strings threading across distance and culture, we feel for one another. Like everyone in the world, this experience of COVID has me processing the whole spectrum of emotions, even ones for which I have no names! I’ve found, through much trial and error believe me, that every emotion can be nourishing if we follow it and allow it to be. For example, experiencing deep grief can lead to realizing how deeply we love. Personally, I’ve been continually moved by the ways communities are coming together, from musicians all over Europe serenading their neighbors from rooftops and balconies to mutual aid funds being set up across neighborhoods, we’re all trying. Inside the walls of my home, I reflect on joy and the internet's seemingly magical capacity to lead us to discovery. I want to share with you some gemstones I have found across corners of the internet. Gemstones that have led me to find that surfing with women all over the world, sensuality, and music are my heart's greatest joys.

A Personality Test Hater takes the Enneagram
Personality tests have always rubbed me the wrong way. For some reason the idea that someone could possibly have me figured out and put me into a category really irritates me. Even though I typically don't like personality tests, I know that they can be taken just for fun and it can be a great way to help you get to know yourself better. I've heard a lot of great things about the Enneagram Personality test and decided to take it. The results were shockingly and annoyingly very true for me.
