Dealing with Rejection

One of the ways I deal with rejection is to busy myself with multiple tasks and numerous new ventures. Yes, some of the more enlightened ones among us would refer to this as 'denial' but hey, it's my denial so I guess I'm entitled to outwork it my wa (read full article)

Lonely Tables

We were only in Nice for a couple of nights, but we were immediately won over by her beauty and charm. I was instantly smitten by the Promenade des Anglais as I have never seen a more lovely stretch of water. The Côte d'Azur at sunset is completely (read full article)
