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

Doors are powerful entities. They can either let us in through or can serve as a barrier stopping movement. If you don’t have a key, it can permanently stop your movement. Sometimes, you fumble to find to right key. Sometimes, you specially mark your keys so you know […]
I went on a quick “vacation” to unwind and leave the pandemic epicenter for a few days. Being in it day in and day out has been tough, taxing, and tumultuous. I didn’t go far. I didn’t need to. It was just about going away. I ended up […]
It is easy to wax nostalgic and think of what we believed to have been good times. Believed. Sometimes those so-called “good” times weren’t really so. However, our brain starts playing games and lulls us into thinking those bad ones were actually good times. Or it could be […]

Quiet Nothing Nothingness Emptiness Words devoid of meaning The beeping just chirps The chirps just echo Buzz and buzzing Ears are crackling The fire quickly burning Yet there’s only silence Or do, it should be
