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
Sadly, there are some individuals who can never give a compliment or acknowledge the great deeds of others. If they didn’t do such acts, they are suspect in their eyes. These are stingy people. They are stingy with their praise and good will towards others. They are stingy […]
My son started school last week. And, while everyone was posting photographs onto Facebook of their kids with a sign noting the school grade they were entering, I chose to not do so. I’ve done it before. Honestly, I thought about it for a second and then moved […]
As we wind down for the day, let’s not pretend purpose isn’t purposeful. Really. Having a sense of purpose day in and day out takes an active sense of willpower, thoughtfulness and practice. As we lay to sleep and dream, let our sense of purpose creep in and […]
The first step of the day is to be grateful for yet another day. Look at the sun. Make coffee with zest. Tune down the negative noise. Turn up the positivity. Find a good song to walk down the street to. Share a song with my son. Listen […]
You own your progress. It’s yours to keep moving forward. It’s yours to step back from for a minute. Take it in and relish in it. No one need know. It doesn’t have to be a secret. But it also need not be lauded.
Lights shine brightly on our dear city Twin towers were my neighbors I passed the dust day in and day out Rubble upon rubble Until it wasn’t New foundations Names etched forever more But the dna lingers The loss still profound Innocence lost See something, say something Always […]
In psychology, we note that there are times (many often) in which we may not know why we have done or said something. Sometimes we can’t quite spell out a why. We don’t always know our own motivation. As kids, we are (were) honest about not knowing why […]
The autumn air is starting to envelop us. The slightly crisp air feels so nice on the skin compared to the prickly days just a few weeks ago . This past summer seemed suffocatingly hot and humid. I got heat rashes on top of heat rashes overlayed with […]
Doubt is a horrible infection. It oozes and bleeds. It brings on a fever of discomfort and sadness. It makes you question yourself in unhealthy ways. Doubt is also a weapon used by the ungrateful and toxic people seeking leverage. Doubt is a crown of thorns. Don’t be […]
I specialize in pooper scoopping. Sadly, so. Also, unfortunately there are many manure spreaders. Yucky, yuck, yuck. I often ponder the number of buckets I need to do said scooping. How many shovels do I need? This thought is a good one by which to sleep. No nightmares […]
