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

While growing up, my mother had a saying for everything as well as a superstition. I grew up with a lot of soundbites and food for thought. In certain ways, those bits helped mold me into a role of storyteller. I was back then. I am now. I’ve […]
There are a lot of thieves out there. People who take great glee in taking from you. Sounds bitter? Rings of truth? Could go either way. There are a lot of people out there who want to stamp out your fire. Not a blazing, scary, wild fire. But […]
Admittedly, with the Covid pandemic so rooted in our lives the last two years, there have been times when I’ve engaged in numerous countdowns. Counted down till it was over. Counted down until I was able to go on my Alaska trip; which is yet to happen. Counted […]
Everyday I look at a baby picture or two of my son. Then, I proceed to send him a few so he can reminisce with me. However, he is not so inclined. Regardless, I continue to send him said photos. It gives me great pleasure to look at […]
Every year I come up with a word that is meant to guide and direct me. Provide me with purpose. This past year, I recycled the word “joy”. And this year (at its halfway mark) has not been particularly joyful. I could go ahead and lament the year […]
