I have always known that my brain is constantly planning the next move. I like Medicine because it forces me to really focus and stay present in what I am doing at the time. My brain is not able to take a life of its own and try to make my next to-do list. There …
I wanted to call this post ‘Halloween hacks’ but as someone who didn’t grow up with this holiday, that title didn’t ring true. Celebrating Halloween with children has truly been a fun but chaotic adventure that I have been navigating as best as possible the last couple of years. I always imagine living in Buenos …
If you told me fifteen years ago that I would be going apple picking and frolicking around pumpkin patches, I would have laughed in your face. For a long period of my life, Fall wasn’t even a season I acknowledged (thank you, Florida). Then, I moved to the Northeast and I learned about pumpkin spice …
As some of you might know, we just started a long stretch of many Jewish holidays. The first one, Rosh Hashanah, is the Jewish New Year. Next week, there will be a fast as part of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. We were fortunate to be able to travel to South Florida to spend …

International Women’s Day is celebrated yearly on March 8. I always congratulate all my female family and friends. As I was getting ready to write the post for this week, I realized I didn’t know much of the history behind it. Before getting into this year’s theme which is shedding the spotlight on biases that …
I didn’t want to let February go by without highlighting a Black physician but this month almost got away from me! On this last day and hour of February, I want to introduce you to Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler. I hope you already knew about her but I didn’t. She is recognized for being the …
This post for everybody. It is not about being in a traditional relationship or in love. It is about engaging in diverse and meaningful connections with those around us.
