Remembering Sept 11th 2001
September 11th 2001- I was barely out of college. I had graduated in May 2000. I was living with my then boyfriend, a USAF A-10 Crew Chief in a small apartment in Arizona. We were both asleep when the first tower fell. Then, came the calls. First, it was my mother who worked in Family Advocacy doing domestic violence counseling, telling us she could not get on base. Then, it was the boyfriend being put on standby..which lead to rush packing and getting the few things that weren't in his go bag- like the tight number of socks. Then the worst, my goddaughter, Samantha. I had expected to hear from her father, Tony, a K-9 handler with the Security Police in the USAF. Instead I got a call from a 5 year old hiding under the bed.

Is Anything Real, Or Is This Just Fantasy?
What is it that you know, for sure? You know that you have a brain and a heart and other organs, that you drink water to survive and so on. In other words, you know about an “external world” of sorts that is outside yourself. But would you say for sure that you know all this about the external world.

A shift in my view of praise
What I want to write about today is the evolution of my ideas about praise. Because my parents seldom praise me, I started to be eager about the praise when I was young. Then my mind changed as I grew up. My parents also changed their educational style later after communicating with them. I would like to write these down, so that more people witness my growth.

How To Not Hate People.
I was on the bus yesterday, ready to murder the man standing next to me with his mask down by his chin. You’ve found yourself in something similar; consumed by anger at how stupid someone can be. You’ve followed rules your whole life and just can’t help but feel vitriol when you see someone breaking them, as though they are somehow above these rules.

Let's talk about Logical Fallacies (Part-1)
Debate or argument is our day to day event. We do it most often formally or informally. When you are debating with someone, you want to use all of the resources in your disposal to convince the other person that you are right, That’s pretty good until you are not ending up with logical fallacies to just establish your point whereas your point is becoming invalid.

Introvert or Extrovert?
Most likely you have been asked "Are you an introvert or an extrovert?" for school or perhaps your workplace for an odd interview. But have you actually thought it through and connected the dots to see how much of an extrovert or introvert you are?

On Being of Service
Some recent conversations, experiences and explorations into religious themes got me reflecting on the notion and nature of "service" of late. What follows isn't meant to be some great final truth, but rather something that can maybe give us all a little more breathing room.
