With Palm Sunday and Easter just around the corner I thought the story I read in passing below about someone who fell into a pit and couldn’t get out – and how others treated that person – makes for an awesome reflection.

Who is God to you? The question is an easy and hard one to answer at the same time. For me, God is one of the beloved members of my Inner Circle.

Live long and prosper. I think that is a Vulcan greeting spoken by Mr. Spock in the popular TV show, Star Trek. I was watching the Oprah Winfrey Show about the Blue Zones where people live healthy lives well into their seventies, eighties, nineties, one hundred and beyond. I like to pair living long with [...]

My favorite comfort food is “Pho”. It is a delicious and satiating soup found in many Vietnamese restaurants. You can get the beef or chicken version.
I was smitten with Pho since childhood. I remembered growing up in Vietnam where eating Pho from street food vendors was a common practice. We usually did not cook Pho at [...]
