Delve into Canada's Freedom to Read Week, exploring challenged books, ideological debates, and the significance of intellectual freedom in a digital age. Join the conversation on censorship, sexuality, and the role of diverse perspectives in shaping our democratic society. - [Bridging Diversity: Nostalgia for a 1950s British Pub](https://drsuejohnson.com/bridging-diversity-nostalgia-for-a-1950s-british-pub/) - In the quaint haven of a 1950s English pub, class distinctions blurred as a diverse cast of characters painted the canvas of my childhood.

Romeo and Juliet is not a love story—it’s a three-day relationship between a 13- and a 17-year-old.

Give Online Therapy a Chance.](https://drsuejohnson.com/getting-ready-for-change-in-2021-is-online-therapy-for-you/) - I was a non-believer in the idea that online therapy can be just as effective as a live session.

Here is my take on the views expressed in this article about the patriarchal culture of Tango and issues like “How much touch is too much?” First, PLEASE don’t let’s get all politically correct and get vigilant about “touch” in tango. Tango is a CLOSE dance: you have to literally feel your partner’s body cues. If you want to avoid intimate touch, then best to choose another dance. That being said, in 15 years of dancing I have never experienced inappropriate touch on the dance floor anywhere in the world. After all, the dance floor is a very public place. - [A Meditation on Wedding Vows and the Meaning of Modern Commitment](https://drsuejohnson.com/a-meditation-on-wedding-vows-and-the-meaning-of-modern-commitment/) - Depending on where you live, it might be the height of wedding season.
