Showers. Weather is an interesting study. One minute you receive a heavy shower and then the sun reappears and the water evaporates and you have a beautiful day! Let’s look at what happens in your own lives and businesses. The “rain showers” that p...

Dear Dr Nekia, My man and I spend all our free time together. His friends tease him, and my friends are getting angry with me, saying that they are tired of him tagging along everywhere. I enjoy his company and he enjoys mine. I do not like having to...

Decisions. The process of making decisions seems to be directly related to the degree of complexity of the challenge at hand and whether you have any prior experience or knowledge of the situation. So many decisions we make each day are almost autom...

Dear Dr Nekia, I am dating this woman and, ever since things got serious between us, she keeps telling me what I am doing wrong as a father. It is annoying as hell. I tell her that she is overstepping her bounds and that my son is mine, not hers. She...

Dear Dr Nekia, I got married recently, three months after my mom passed. We then moved into our new place, away from my dad and sister who needed me the most during our very difficult time. I thought marriage would make dealing with my grief a littl...

When I think of time I imagine it as a river. A river of my life. It could flow quietly and smoothly and I would remain calm in the cozy, stagnant harbour of everyday life and hesitate to step in. Days pass by, measured and mundane, and nothing chan...

Towards the end of last year I was approached by the folks at the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art. As 2017 would be their 30th birthday, and as they have wonderful representations of boats under full sail, they asked about the possibility of a cus...

I grew up living on stunning and unique Lake Baikal in Siberia, surrounded by magnificent mountains and wild, boundless taiga. Baikal is the deepest and most ancient lake on the planet, holding one-fifth of the world’s fresh water. In the pine fore...
