Around fifteen universities now offer courses for free online through a medium called Coursera. No, no, it’s legit – you can take Stanford, Michigan, Princeton, UPenn, Hopkins and many more university classes for free! It was while browsing the Duke University website that I learnt about this program because Duke participates in it as well. …
After reflecting on my first post on being single, and listening to the feedback, I made some revisions to the NM singles section and figured it’d be good to follow up with more clarity. It’s as impossible to define the parameters of Never-Married/NM singles as it is to find two identical cultures. That’s because marriage …
Music is a wonderful thing! And by that I mean it is a thing of wonder… When no words could express an emotion Chopin’s nocturne captures it effortlessly. The cascading notes whisper your true meaning And though no-one else understands, you feel understood. That’s because music is like capturing a feeling in a sound So …
I just watched a TED talk on slavery. There’s a part of me that wishes I hadn’t because now, I know, and now, I feel so helpless. More than 27million people enslaved in the world today…some sold into slavery for as little as $18. Sex and textile slavery are probably the most commonly known, but …

A false alarm caused me to start preparing a presentation for a singles’ seminar this past month. As is usually the case when I prepare any presentation, it seemed the preparations benefited me more than they could have anyone else! The seminar didn’t end up happening, but I made so many discoveries that I have …
I always love it when I see that blue “Welcome To Michigan: Great Lakes, Great Times” sign. It feels like coming home! Who would have thought, right! Especially after my first visit to Michigan. Coming from Massachusetts where 1. everything was so much closer together! 2. it seemed like everything was so built up…tall buildings …
The idea came to me in the shower – from whence all genius flows. “If I can get a cheap ticket home, I should just go home this week!” So, last Monday the ticket, the finances, and the vacation time came together and I was on my way home two days later, on Wednesday. For …
Today, I resonate with this Psalm: When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. The LORD hath done great things for us; …
