We are sailing on this ship on the waters of life. Along the way we come upon an iceberg; we can see the surface of it as it is seemingly floating atop the waters and yet we have no idea of the depths that lurk beneath the sea. We, it has been said, only live […]
Very often, patients are in search of a healthier replacement for their “silver fillings” or need a new cavity filled, only wanting a white filling. This is also known as a dental composite resin. The concept to really focus on is that the techniques and procedures used by dentists are not all the same, leading […]
Imagine you are sitting by a clear mountain stream. The air is pure and clear. Take a deep breath and revel in the feeling of the air flowing into your lungs. Release gently. Feel a slight coolness in the air mingling with the warmth of the sun. Imagine your bare feet on the smooth rocks […]
Do you know who you are? Do you want to live the way you do right now? How do you want to be remembered? At some point in life, we must answer these questions. Whatever you have accomplished, pause, breathe, and choose to evaluate or reevaluate what you are doing here on this earth: What […]

Ongoing disconnection in our relationships can start to pull at us, draining our energy and inciting misunderstandings that can lead to conflict. Empathy is the antidote to disconnection. It is the ability to share […]
