People  are works in progress who mistakenly think they are finished. Hint. That is not the case. Yet the power of time transforms our values and shapes our lives and profoundly influence the people we are going to become- For example young sailors pay good money to get tattoos removed that teenagers paid good money to get. and as Dan Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness, in this TED Lecture adds,  Middle-aged people rushed to divorce people   who young adults rushed to marry.   Older adults work hard to lose   what middle-aged adults worked hard to gain.   On and on and on.   The question is, as a psychologist, that fascinates me is,   why do we make decisions   that our future selves so often regret?  How inappropriate to c...

The winds of grace always blow for us  but you have to raise your sails a nd just go.  Putting the He in Hero, all action/adventure films have the same moral: Perseverance pays. Of all the things I am not very content at doing,living on land is the most outstanding.  I was an armchair sea dog, growing up on LAWNGUYLAND(L.I.) New York, dreaming of going places, but I never stepped foot even in a motor boat, never started and therefore  I never failed. Those Who Do Not Move, Do Not Notice Their Chains Considering how much inner "nomad" is in each of us, in adulthood I gave myself permission to LEAVE ASAP, and imaginatively re-create(d) my ID in line with my true allegiances of a place noted for second chances, Venice Beach, California . Sea Change How inappropriate to call this planet Earth when it is quite clearly Ocean. Let The Orinoco Flow --There is no doubt about it, the exhilarating state of mind that travel can evoke, when everything seems suddenly fresh, vivid...

Mind, Body and SOL

ArtstoCAT Ah Ft Lauderdale-the boats are smaller this month  60 meters long or less- due to the fact that  most are in The Hampton's or The Med. Yes!  Palm Trees, Spring Break, Retirement Homes, and Cheap Hotels. That's Central Florida and Daytona's Red Neck Riviera-but here, there may be a lot of foreigners who speak Spanish and Portuguese, but that is their second language-Money is their first. Welcome to The American Dream is all I can say.
