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.
I’m a born storyteller. That’s what my mom would tell me. She also noted that at a very young age I wanted to be a psychologist. I often wonder about how true that is but it’s the story that serves as a baseline for my life. Whether true […]
She ran and ran and ran. Her heart felt like it was going to burst through her chest. She stopped for a second to look around her. She wiped her hands and then her tears. She walked over to the little shed. She looked up to the sky […]
I was riding the NYC Subway today and as I walked up the escalator I came across an ad (for a product that I do not remember) that noted “we’ll always get the future wrong.” Lets face it the Jetsons have been wrong. A few years ago, those […]
