Another year full of challenges, but my daughter survived.
A personal reflection on finding unexpected love and joy after embracing solitude, and the liberating effects of letting go of social media and embracing real connections.
Today is Bell Let's Talk Day, a day focused on mental health awareness. For the past few years, I have been using it to talk about a theme for the next year.
Another challenging year, but coming out stronger than in the past.
In the Immersive Age, information is always there for us, and the amount of information is behaving like a volcano.
A few months ago, I came across a [website](http://www.changesurfer.com/eventhorizon/index.html) which expanded on the ideas found in the author's book [Citi...
I read [this blog entry](http://www.rushkoff.com/2005/12/business-is-good.php) - written by Douglas Rushkoff, a mainstream journalist/writer, and it's made m...
An urban-hermit. Seems simple enough, right? I suppose the OED would have a definition along the lines of, "A loner living in a city environment who tends no...
Last Friday, I checked out a new bookstore. I found myself staring at the self-help section and looking through the titles. One title really stood out to me: Introvert Advantage
A few days to go until the New Year and before I even set down some new year's resolutions to accomplish, or even think about them for that matter, I feel be...
There is one thing in my life that frequently embarrasses, or would embarrass me if I ever were to admit it to anyone I know. I love young, conservative women. Even more accurate is that I love young, conservative business-women. Why is that embarrassing? Because I’m a left-leaning, socialist-anarchist, pro-choice, pro-gay, believe in the separation of church and state, and pretty much every other stereotype out there (except I don’t smoke marijuana or drink wine). You would think I’d be attr
In the beginning, there was me. And I stared up at the world and said nothing. I saw a hot nurse and said nothing. I sat on the floor in my house and stared at the television, stared at my mother folding laundry, stared at the dog running around, and said nothing. I watched people walk around on two feet, sit down on a couch, watched the dog run on all fours and lay down. I did not move.

I've always been socially awkward in my life. I never talked until I was nearly 4 years old.

The machine in the mind never slows down
Limiting Progress Why is there such a constant movement in our society today to stop progress? If our society today cannot deal with the differences between races, gender, sexuality, religion, and so on, how are we to deal with future societies when there are robots, cyborgs, intelligent life other than humans, longer living humans, people who have adopted really advanced technology, or people discovering and founding a major religion? The politicians and writers are attacking the wrong areas of
