Uninsured Motorist Coverage is perhaps the most important insurance you can have on your car insurance policy.  In handling personal injury cases, I’ve really come to appreciate the importance of Uninsured Motorist coverage!

fate and destiny of dreams

As a mythologist there are many stories from around the world that I tell and re-tell in my practice of working with dreams.  Because image loves image, the images in our dreams evoke stories from us—our personal memories, dreams, and reflections—even as they call up the images, dreams, and reflections of others, or what we commonly know of as folk tales, fairy tales, myths, legends, and indeed all... read more

fluff and fold

From time to time my mind dwells on how truly grateful I am to those that came before me who now decades after their inventions* are making my life a true joy! (like the blog on how much I appreciate the trash haulers and the system in place so that we don’t have plague, because of their good works!).. well this weekend I tossed the clothes in systematic fashion to be washed. I then multi-task, I... read more
