“You should have screamed, Charlie. You should have woken everybody up. You shouldn’t have felt scared to tell people. Your safety is more important than that,” my boss tells me, in his serious German accent, on the stoop of the hotel we work in, with rain pouring down around us. ...

There’s no shortage of “be caring” advice for leaders — and for a good reason. Surveys show that about 50% of people don’t feel valued at work, almost 30% feel “invisible,” and just 24% think their employer cares about their well-bei...

A good friend, the psychologist Tony Bates has just published a powerful memoir that maps the development of mental health services in Ireland in parallel against his own life’s experience. It’s called Breaking the Heart Open and embraces the idea of mining your life ...

When it comes to the outdoors, I’m more like Henry David Thoreau than Bear Grylls. I’m not interested in cold camps or survival techniques. I don’t plan on hunting moose with a handmade bow like that one guy on the reality show “Alone.” I’m more interested i...

Soyen Shaku, the first Zen teacher to come to America, said: “My heart burns like fire but my eyes are as cold as dead ashes.” He made the following rules which he practiced every day of his life: - In the morning before dressing, light incense and meditate. - Retire at a regular h...

Discrimination is an insidious force that permeates various facets of society, and perhaps one of the most troubling arenas in which it manifests is the healthcare system. While healthcare is considered a fundamental human right, the stark reality is that discrimination persists, affecting the quali...

I mean, think about it, they’ll just tell everyone ‘you can’t possibly think a bioethicist is too much to ask for, right? You don’t want moral authority on this?’ I can’t help thinking that after Glenn Youngkin’s ‘Parents’ Rights’ campai...

The intersection of gender identity and the criminal justice system presents unique challenges, especially concerning the provision of gender-affirming care in prisons. While strides have been made in recognizing the rights and needs of transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, there r...

As we step into a new year, it’s only natural to reflect on the past and set intentions for the future. I was looking back on 2023, while thinking about what kind of year I want to have this year. I keep saying that 2023 was a very “fortunate” year for me. The money was ok, my h...

These boys are not my children, they are my nephews. But I too was almost a mother on Christmas day. I became a licensed foster parent in March of 2021 and received my first “match” for a pre-adoptive placement in June of the same year. Two little boys, ages three and fourteen months,...

New York City police said a 1-year-old boy died, and three other children were hospitalized after apparently “coming into contact with an opioid” at a home-based childcare site in the Bronx on Friday. Police said the 911 call came in just after 2:40 p.m. on Friday. Officers al...

Iget asked this question a lot when I tell people I’m a Collections Care Specialist, “what do you do?” The job title Collections Care Specialist is relatively new in the lexicon of museum and cultural heritage work, but the work that goes with it has been around a long time. I l...

Iknew we’d buy the house the moment I saw the listing. It had everything we wanted. It was old. It was more than big enough, with a large garden (for a house in town), parking, views and it was in budget. Actually, it was under budget. Like, much cheaper than a house of this size and location ...

Isuppose it could be my own version of a mid-life crisis. Instead of buying fast cars, I’m buying clothes. But then, anyone who knows me well understands that I’ve always had a closet full of unusual things: a Sherlock-Holmes-style great-coat; wide-sleeved jackets and shirts from the Jap...

I will be the first to say that I didn’t think a skincare routine or exfoliating was practical. I thought it was a waste of time and money. I saw many reports suggesting that once you start moisturising, your skin actually gets worse, not better. That was enough to put me off. Re...
