Contemplating the future in beautiful locations


Two years to ponder options, professional & personal - punctuated with
the good fortune to step away from the ordinary & predictable first to
Martinique, then to France looking for inspiration. A taste of my favorite photographs from these places, a reminder that j' ai eu de la chance, and later, a few from the new nest - chaos to order at home thankfully - have not yet hit my stride in the training program though. Establishing a rhythm, achieving the balance between learning, studying & practicing in this new field and guarding those activities that are soul-restoring - meditation, music, art ..... Perhaps this blog, entitled Literature, Arts and Medicine will interest you too. What is known is that mindfulness meditation and journal writing are the only activities with evidence to show that regular practice mitigates burnout and compassion fatigue in those caring for patients at the end of life.
