Of particular note are my interests in Sufi poetry (Rumi, Hafiz) and the spiritual traditions of Buddhism, Hinduism and – to some extent – ...

“You will not be able to make any changes to your coverage unless you have a life-changing event”… That’s one of the statements made at a recent Human Resources session at work, referring to health care sign-ups. In the HR world, things like marriage, divorce, pregnancy, and death qualify as ...
