Reflections
It’s been a very cold few days for us here in the north east. The snow came down heavily with winds blowing and after 24 hrs we had icy grounds. Today the sun is shining and the snow has been pushed aside by snow blowers, shovels and snow plows, leaving behind mini mountains of hardened…
Thankful
It’s the week of Thanksgiving. The one holiday that unites almost everyone in the United States (for those who do not know the history, it is disturbing). It has come to be a celebration of friends, family and loved ones for things that went right this past year. Usually people gather together and have a…
My Brother’s Keeper
I have time for reflecting as I await my flight home from a global health trip after almost two years of virtual collaborations. The work was strenuous but absolutely fulfilling. A number of people ask why I created and participate in global health training and programs and I explain that global health contributes to global…
Be Careful What You Wish For
Like many of you, I have worked hard to reach certain goals in my life and in my career. Figuring out what steps needed to be taken and then strategizing on how to implement each step. There have been many roadblocks but also a few easy paths along the way. Earnestly pursuing it despite the…
Hurry Up and Wait
As the summer has unfolded and the restrictions have loosened with regards to masking and social distancing, a number of people have resumed travel.

Something New
A lot of things are changing for me and many others this month of June. We have resident physicians graduating and going on to become independent doctors. Some people are moving on to new job positions, offices, careers, workplaces, or even retirement. The weather, though inconsistent, does feel mainly like summer and with it the…
Moments
Today is a beautiful day for those living in my part of the NorthEast. Just stepping outside makes me feel happy. It’s Sunday and there is hope for the upcoming week. I will, however, concede that there are so many things I have to take care of. Fires to put out. Conversations to have. Strategies…
Lessons Learned
I won’t lie. This past week has been trying. And that’s saying something in a time where everyone has been under stress for over a year. I guess it is because there has been a baseline level of anxiety and apprehension that we have all had to deal with during this period. So the added…
Good Life
It’s Saturday morning. I have my list of errands to run and assignments to complete. In the background I have music playing on a random rotation, care of Pandora. (Helps ensure I am in a good frame of mind). Morning thank you to God. Done. Quick text chat with my mom and sibs. Done. Half…
