We all are observers of reality. This phenomenon of active observer comes from quantum physics. Quantum physicists say that there is no reality without human observation. Quantum physicists have redefined the purpose and beauty of the act of observation, because Newtonian laws are not applicable to the reality of a subatomic world. This phenomenon of [...]

I like to discuss my work with students aspiring to become faculty members. I believe that I am a good source of career development information. One day while working with one of my doctoral students I mentioned this blog. She became very interested and asked about its content. As we talked she came up with [...]

One of the things that I do for myself to maintain my sanity, which is questionable some days, is read a daily devotional and Bible passage every morning. The other morning I came across a really interesting story in 1 Kings 19:1-13. Here’s a brief synopsis: Elijah’s running away because Jezebel’s threatening to kill him. [...]

Dogs have such an uncanny ability to live in the now; appreciate the good times and forgive the bad. I want to share this essay that seems to sum up my sentiments so succinctly. I am not sure whom to credit as it’s been cross-posted a dozen times. I hope that it inspires you, as [...]

This blog is meant to be funny so I hope it is received that way. After my pregnancy I suffered from post partum depression and I have since realized it is a conversation that makes many women uncomfortable because they don’t want to admit they had it or BECAUSE I had it there must be [...]

Is “counseling”, or “teaching” all you did last week?  Of course not. I’m CONFIDENT that you did things to enhance your practice of counseling or teaching; things that will help out your clients or students, or things that will make you even better for them in the future. My GUESS is that you did things [...]

One of the things I love about my graduate program is my professors’ creative use of the tangible (movies) to educate us on the intangible (theories). Last semester, my family counseling professor asked us to watch The Matrix to help us understand how the science of cybernetics applies to family counseling. That’s not a movie [...]

I had hard time starting off this article. After my introductory article last week, I simply could not figure out where to begin describing this connection between quantum physics and counseling. Quantum physics is so vast and complicated that it creates a cycle of understanding and knowledge, which is hard to break to begin at [...]
