Wellness Wednesday – February 17, 2021: LOVE
Our recent celebration of Valentine’s Day has got me reflecting about love. I am recalling a class I taught to high school students over 40 years ago. The course was titled: Literature of Love and Loneliness. What I learned most from my students was how confused they...
Wellness Wednesday – February 10, 2021: SCOTOMA

Wellness Wednesday – January 6, 2021: PURPOSE
Let’s start the new year by thinking about what we want 2021 to be. In other words, what’s our purpose? In most areas of my life, I lack purpose. Seldom do I do things with a clear sense of purpose. But not when I play basketball. Since the time I was a little boy...

Wellness Wednesday – December 9, 2020: COLLABORATE
