Is anyone else climbing into this boat and dropping anchor? I know I am. My life has been turned upside down since January with personal struggles, professional struggles and just day to day struggles that seem to be heavier than usual. I ebb and flow in a constant state of stress, anger and depression. I even earned myself a stay at the mental health hotel. Email me. I'll save you a co-pay... Читать дальше...

Как правило, способность к счастливому материнству передается из поколения в поколение бережной рукой от старшей женщины семьи к младшей. От одной эпохи к другой, сквозь многие беды и испытания, женщины передавали это счастливое чувство - быть матерью, - другим женщинам.

"March 30. Nothing but anger that day comes to my people's mind. Nothing but memories from that sad day when a group of Israeli soldiers tried to kick the local citizens out of the village."

Those words were written in 1998, on the 22nd anniversary of Land Day, an annual commemoration of land dispossession and the killings of six Palestinian citizens of Israel in 1976. They're from an essay by my then 15-year-old friend Aseel Asleh, which he titled "Peaceful Thoughts," and are included in... Читать дальше...

Springtime brings two blossom-filled celebrations of Dutch flower painting.

He was walking across the university campus. The ancient buildings were the perfect backdrop on that fall day as I caught his smile and slight nod as we passed each other. It happened again the following day, and the next, each day to the point where we finally stopped and exchanged small talk, albeit more BS than anything. Yet that exchange turned into another and another and to make a long story shorter, we eventually ended up engaged, then married. I was 21 he was 23.

The future depends on how we parent, so it's our biggest responsibility. Too bad there's no manual or required training. Here's a key though. The most important thing we can do for our kids is to be good to ourselves, to enjoy life, and to be positive adventurous people -- and to show that to them.

If we're juggling jobs and life and we're coming home stressed out, better to go do something relaxing and get rid of the stress first. Our kids don't need to see us worried, irritated or fearful. Читать дальше...

In a time when we need to eliminate the school-to-prison pipeline, I'm concerned to hear that four of the country's largest school districts have more police or security officers than counselors - a troubling ratio that speaks to a police-state mentality that apparently continues to thrive in America.

In New York City, the country's largest school district, there are six security officers for every 1,000 students, but only three counselors. In Houston, there are 1.16 officers and only .78 counselors for every 100 students. Читать дальше...

For the first time in a long time, both major party nominees for the U.S. Presidential election are opposed to free trade deals. Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump (as well as Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz) have spoken out against the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Obama Administration's free trade agreement with 11 Pacific-rim countries in the Americas and Asia. The trouble is, free trade opponents who claim FTA's like NAFTA or CAFTA take away American jobs and move business overseas to avoid U.S. tax and employ cheap labor... Читать дальше...
