Todo cambia... everything changes
My parents Luddy & Orlando, Abuela Angie & Abuelo Moncho, Rachel & Ellen, 1022 156th Street, South Bronx, 1960s.   Today brought an odd sense of virtual dislocation. The first time I felt something like this was in 1988. We were newly married and Tom drove us to the South Bronx,...

Untold Stories

Every day in my practice as a counselor, I see how our lives are defined by relationships with others. Relationships shape, sustain and strengthen us.  They give our lives meaning—our very identities. And relationships are still, as they always have been, enhanced by sharing our personal experiences and stories. Several years...

Big Day for All of Us
With 10 kids it was always a chore for Mum and Dad to take us anywhere. Trying to keep us quiet in church had to be one of the greatest challenges outside the home. We were rambunctious and always looking for something funny to laugh about. Easter was particularly difficult for...

Ebook - "Ersula's Essays" - About Life Transitions
  Today we would say "1970 was a game changer for me." In reality, my world changed. I moved from the safety of my grandmother's back yard and my segregated school into a world where I had to talk to people who didn't look like me. I put my feelings to...

We will be young forever... a photo from the 1940s.

We will be young forever... a photo from the 1940s.
A photograph of my aunts dancing on a Bronx tenement rooftop makes me think about the gap between then and now.  A camera held by either my father or uncle took a series of pictures one Spring afternoon, capturing something of their youth, and their hope for the future. It is...
