Learn to dance with fear
It’s a mindshift. It’s an easing of the stomache. It’s a calming of a fidgety leg. It’s listening to the music It’s blocking out the noise. Turning down the volume. Facing fear head-on. It’s dancing with fear.

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.

What to do with a loose thread
Lately several of my clothing items have had loose threads. They’ve been caught on bag zippers, doorknobs, and tacks. Walking through my office is a minefield, at times. I hate loose threads. I don’t sew. Thus, my natural inclination is to rip it off. Sometimes gingerly and other […]
A moment of zen in the Green-wood cemetery

Just like magic
Wishful thinking was all-consuming. She wanted to wash this madness away. She wondered if her tear-soaked blouses would take away future tears if washed away in the laundry. There was no time for laundry. They all got into the van and headed out for a nighr of pretense. […]
Where do you find purpose?
Looking in the mirror Swimming in the lake Bathing in the sunlight Hugging your child Coming up with a new idea Acting on the world stage
Naomi Osaka: Achieving peace of mind is a worthwhile goal
The importance of eeaching a place where one has peace of mind cannot be understated. And while many people intrinsically get that concept, they still manage to set up situations that make it difficult for a mindful context. I want to highlight something big that happened in the […]
Why do I have to ask?
I’m the type of person who finds many things obvious and has high expectations of others that they too will see the obvious. Apparently, I don’t tolerate fools very well. So be it. What really gets to me is when I am forced to ask about whats going […]
Throwing something out each day
Many moons ago I wrote about a little thing I do when I travel abroad. I tend to leave something behind. I at times take something thsts frayed or near falling apart and let it come to its end on foreign land. For instance, I left my timberland […]
To bloom
We are into the month of June. My birthday month has passed. However, June signals a shift of things to come. There’s a multitude of sides and a hunger to feel the sun on one’s skin. It is time to bloom and heal. It is time to devour […]
