I love traveling but still miss the quirky bits of New York
While on vacation I will enjoy the local cuisine, learn the city streets and go on a few adventures. Even so, New York City is never far from my heart. Because it is not just one thing.

I love to travel, try new foods (both simple and "exotic"), ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. Im a big pop culture junkie who isnt afraid to say she loves "In Touch" Magazine! A social marketing expert and psychologist by training who works in the public health field trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
All the world is my television and I like to provide commentary on it.

The psychological beauty of the game of poker
I am going to start off with an admission. I don’t play poker with any frequency. It’s more like a leap year event. I do poker slot machines and once on over $700 on a few quarters. That sure felt good. But I’m not here to write about […]
Surround yourself with people who push you to do better
I feel like I may have said this before. I feel like I have written a 1,001 variations on this theme. I feel like I should really adhere to this sound advice. Look, try the best that you can to surround yourself with people who push you to […]
It’s always the wrong spot or line
As I start to pack for my upcoming trip, I have been reminded of how often I pick the wrong line. For instance, I have TSA precheck, but even then I get on the wrong side when the line splits. A few weeks ago everything was zipping right […]
It’s a cruel summer, indeed
I was listening to my iPod, while walking in this extreme heat. I have this silly goal of 10,000 steps each day. Even in this heat. Sigh. I’m too committed. Anyway, there I am walking, listening to music when Bananarama’s song Cruel Summer comes on. I stopped mid-step […]
There will always be more work so go on that vacation
At my doctor’s office, there is a poster about how work will always be there. For you, however, there’s no such guarantee. It’s a bit grim, for sure. However, it is quite accurate. I have come to find that more and more healthcare facilities have such signage or […]
Malcolm Gladwell is wrong about having to rot in an office to feel connected
The Covid Pandemic has been a tipping point for us all. It has tipped us into rocky waves and into seering doubts of self-reflection. It has turned the workforce and the workplace upside down. Where we go from here is anyone’s guess. At the beggining of the pandemic, […]
Wacky news: All for the love of chorizo
I love chorizo. I add it on to as many dishes as I can. Yummy. Tasty. Filling. Spicy. Fun. Yes, fun! At least, fun for a silly French scientist that too many people on social media took seriously. We’re always in search for a “wow” factor. Sometimes scientists […]
The most difficult decision is to act, the rest is merely tenacity
The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward – Amelia Earhart […]
When someone else is the bigger person
A few years back, a pretty well known individual noted “when do go low, you go high.” Or something to that effect. I remember thinking, that’s nice but not realistic. I, for one try to take the high road, most of the time. But, we are all goaded […]
