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.
Cheers
This week, I took a leap of faith that paid off. Not a payout in terms of money, new job, or anything of any monetary value. This leap paid off in terms of feeling accomplished and that I made someone, very important to me, very happy. Some were […]
I am, sometimes, the queen of random trips. Actually, I used to be pre-pandemic. I would just go to wherever I found an available or free flight and hotel. During the pandemic my travel slowed down tremendously. I did randomly go to Cape Cod at the height of […]
As a child, I was never given a time-out by my mother. It can be that I was super well-behaved. It can be that the concept didn’t really exist in my community. It can be that I am not remembering things as accurately as they were. I allow […]
It’s ok to be a phony as long as it’s authentic. As a society we have come to terms with such a sentiment. Now, we not only think about authenticity, but also falsehoods and lies. In that same vein, we are now asking that if you do lie, […]
I’m about to fly out this evening. And, I already received a travel alert. Apparently, there are thunderstorms at my destination and along the way. That travel alert got me thinking about all the thunderstorms we must travel through in life. There are sometimes extended periods of turbulence […]
Exhaustion has set in at midday. Which is a shame. Wednesday, which is often a day of blahs, was starting to look like a boom day! I had some energy. I had a tickle. I had a skip. Then I sat down. Then I stayed seated for hours […]
I want to say that today was a day of the blahs. However, I’m rather nonplussed. Unaffected. Maybe perplexed. But most certainly unimpressed. A shrugged shoulder followed me around. A giggle and often intermixed. I was about to remind myself that wednesdays ars really the day of the […]
Have you heard of or ever uttered the phrase “this too shall pass”? I have. I remember the first time I said it to myself. I was in a meeting with a nervous, gruff, chain-something academic who threw an epic temper tantrum whole meeting with community members who […]
As a kid, I loved the cartoon show Scooby-Doo. I was always in to mysteries. And, still am. I could easily sit down watch Scooby-Doo on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I also find myself often quoting the show from “jinkies” to “if it weren’t for those meddling kids…” […]
Spin me a tale, she said. But she didn’t expect such a large tale. Or a series of tales that got spun up and rolled into another. Her head was foggy from all the empty words taking up space in her brain. She felt as if she needed […]
