Do you know how wars start? I’m not just talking about the wars fought with guns and tanks, I’m talking about the wars fought between people.

Two years ago I read a sentence from a little tiny eBook that I still can’t get out of my head.

In 2006 I lent $65,000 to my friend’s brother with the agreement that in three years he would pay me back $94,000. He was investing in land, I had some extra money and I trusted my friend, who would also be co-signing the deal. We signed a promissory note and off he went to invest. […]

Lately I’ve been thinking about how our society has been set up to shame women who like sex. I’m sure we’ve all thought about this, the double standard that exists where a man can sleep with a lot of women and be celebrated while a woman sleeping with a lot of men is shunned.  It’s ridiculous, but […]

Five years ago I returned to visit the 6th grade teacher that changed my life. I walked into his classroom, proudly sporting a tan leather jacket I bought a week earlier in Montepulciano, Italy.
