Feeling Lost?

February 15, 2013 by admin In K's Journey

I recently met a remarkable young man, Samuel Goh, the photographer at my sister’s wedding. I stumbled upon this beautiful blog that he had written and I couldn’t have said it better. He talks about the journey that most people face when living their dreams, facing ‘doubt’ and ‘feeling lost’ as he lost himself for a moment. His honesty and vulnerability are simply inspiring. Thank you Sam. Here is his story: ‘The past two months have been a struggle. After Read More

Since 1981, Dr. Caroline Leaf has researched the human brain with particular emphasis on Read More

February 14, 2013 by admin In K Experts, Kommunity, Kouch Time

Many of us do this without even being aware that we do. Reflect on your thoughts. When you’re stressed, angry or tense, do you find yourself wishing for a cigarette, a cup of coffee, a drink, a pill or a chocolate bar? Do you find yourself rationalizing your use of any addictive substances? Could you be using alcohol, cigarettes, food, sex, alcohol or drugs to cut yourself off from your feelings? We all do this! Sometimes we avoid our pain Read More

Boozing In The U.S.A.

February 12, 2013 by admin In K Experts, Kommunity, Kouch Time

It’s pretty common to pre-game (pre-party) before you go out drinking and then finish the night with a drink at home because hey, “The night is young,” right? Huh. Some parents think it’s more responsible to allow their teens to host parties in their home, using their alcohol, than to leave them to find another host because they’d, “…rather have them drinking under my roof, with my supervision.” Interesting… These are just some thoughts that are swirling around in my head at the Read More
