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

She woke up groggy yet alert. A weird juxtaposition of emotions. She felt groggy from the medications but she was clearheaded as well. She knew what she had to do for she was not going to allow them to take her joy. She wandered downstairs and asked him […]
This may sound odd. Everyone likes a compliment. Well, some curmudgeons may not. Compliments are a supposed desirable transaction. After all, one doesn’t get the latest handbag and put on eye shadow to not be complimented. Here’s another side to compliments. They also allow others to possibly to […]
Butterflies and gummy bears Shower curtains blowing in the stream Fingers threading the needle Eyes upon eyes Drip, drip, drip Veins cold and mighty Anesthesia dreaming
I dare you to wear the heels with the crown on Try to hear the truth and the whispers Ignore the lies and the self-serving gossip Be a trailblazer and not a scorched-earth minion Wear the linty coat while holding onto lofty ideals Be a partner and not […]
I don’t know whether time has gone quickly or slowly the past two years. It’s all been a bit of a blur. At times it has felt like we are caught in some weird time loop, slow motion sequence. We are running but not getting anywhere. Yet, not […]
