I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.

Not a single one of them was looking out. It was as if they were ashamed or scared. It was hard for him to tell what exactlyhe was watching pass by. He didn’t know much anymore. He just stood there smoking wishing each puff would take the world […]
I had a really difficult time falling asleep. Not just last night. It has been so the past two weeks. One can say I’m running on fumes. I had to step back and tell myself it was ok to just sit and listen to my thoughts. When you […]
