I am getting back into a rhythm and routine after some much-appreciated down time for the holidays. It seems appropriate, before I launch into all the topics I have in mind for the year, to ask what is on your mind.

Humans are wired for connection. We all need relationships – family, romantic, friendships, community, etc. In our constantly changing world of wireless connectivity, we seem to be more connected to more people than ever before.
