  • Handling the Dark Days

    Text me your thoughts!

    “It's like being stuck in a box that you can't get out of--a very dark place where you feel so low that even simple tasks are difficult. You feel completely alone.” A depressed mood which feels like this has bothered 20% of Americans in the past year. Have you, or a loved one, been there? This episode of Tracks for the Journey explores this important topic, to understand what it means and find ways to cope.

  • Would the real You please stand up?

    Post your thoughts here. If you want a reply email me at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you.

    “Would the real Larry Payne please stand up?” The climatic question for a popular quiz show demands to know the feature character’s identity. It’s easy to end the show but much harder to define our identity in the journey of life. Join me as this episode explores what identity means and how we can shape it by knowing better our past, future, and present Self. It’s good to answer the question, “Would the real You please stand up?”
