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.
Do you remember life before the internet? The internet. The web. Social media. Online activities. These all rule our daily lives now. Some online platforms may even cause mental health harm overall and specifically may be harming young girls. I may be showing my age, but there was […]
What are you good at? Last year, I had a pretty bad birthday month getting Covid, bronchitis, and extreme work pressure. I thought surely this year’s birthday month of May had to be better. Well, the year of 2023 said “hold my beer.” This year has been brutal […]
What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable? Who doesn’t want to have it all? Family happiness. Good, meaningful job. Fulfilling friendships. Great meals. Enlightening trips.

How do you feel about cold weather? I am a warm-blooded person. I need heat and warmth. However, please keep humidity away. My hair, most certainly, detests humidity. Waking up to 100-degree Florida summers, for example, is unbearable to the overall well-being of my hair. Which is why […]
Have you ever broken a bone? Whenever someone asks a question such as “Have you ever broken a bone,” I flinch. Why, you ask? Simple. The second I answer it, I feel like I’m jinxing myself. I’m a very superstitious person, and in answering “no” to such a […]
