Listen to Yourself
Human beings and our ancestors have been around for millions of years. And, as a result, our instincts for danger have evolved, become more sensitive, and better at detecting possible threats. Listen to those instincts! More than any other thing … Continue reading
Don’t Walk Between Groups
Many years ago I learned this one the hard way. As you walk down the street, get into an elevator, get on the subway or a bus, don’t walk between a group. This means you actually have to keep your … Continue reading
Magazines
Ever roll up a magazine and carry it in your hand? Ever do that with a newspaper? Ever see someone doing that? Well, if you do, you might want to pay a little more attention to that person than you … Continue reading
Beware of “stuff”
I was counseling someone today who holds a prominent public position and is being stalked. We don’t know how bad it is yet, but one thing we talked about is worth mentioning right now. If you are concerned, do *not* … Continue reading

Front Door Peep holes
I saw an old friend of mine last week. I knew him in college, over 35 years ago. He’s a lawyer too. He does a lot of wills, trusts and estates work, helping families protect and preserve assets over generations. … Continue reading
Walking (con’t) and Shoes
I am always amazed when I see people walking on the street wearing flip-flops, high heels, sandals and backless shoes of all kinds. It’s absurd. When wearing these shoes you cannot walk normally with good balance–you have to worry about … Continue reading
