Adultery Date Site, Just Another Sick Idea

Plastered all over the Paris subway system are huge purplish red advertisements for an international internet dating site for extraconjugal affairs.  With a photo of an apple, bitten into, the major pitch lines are the bold and audacious proclamations ” Être fidèle à deux hommes, c’est être deux fois plus fidèle”. That translates out that women …

Swan Saga at Park Montsouris

Park Montsouris is one of the prettiest parks in Paris nestled in the southern part of the city. In the fall of 2010, the country of Poland sent two black Australian and two white swans to grace our lovely park.    With much to do and fanfare consisting of an elaborate musical celebration the swans …

Summer Solstice, Cosmic Convergence Supreme!

Today, the 21 of June, is one my favorite moments and cosmic celebrations.  The sun is in the highest point in the sky and therefore gives forth the longest day of the year.  Unfortunately as I write this, the sky over Paris is dark with rivers of rains and thunder giving way to lightning. Earlier …

The Sexless Marriage or Practically

I remember dancing to Mick Jagger’s “I aint got no satisfaction” at the Locomotive discotheque near the Moulin Rouge in Paris at the mere age of 20, which pretty much sums up this title!    As a  young therapist I never realised how common the sexless marriage or practically sexless unions were. To me it …

Reversed Seasonal Affective Disorder

  Since we are just a little over a week past the summer solstice, which I personally really look forward, I thought reversed seasonal affective disorder would be a  timely topic.  Most of you are familiar with SAD, with depression occurring more often in the winter months when the days are shorter and improving in the …
