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
We are 22 weeks into the year 2020. However, undoubtedly it has felt for many as if it has been 100 years packed into 22 weeks. Each time we have been hit with an unfathomable event, collectively we have felt that we will be able to move on. […]

The bright lights always got to her. Always reeled her in. Mesmerized her. She wanted to be the lights. She wanted to be light. She needed to find her way to be that bright light that she desperately sought.
When I was a kid, my mother used to have me participate in storytelling contests. I have no idea how that ever came about. I don’t know whether such things even still exist. However, that love of words and stories stayed with me. Became a part of my […]
I don’t cook. I don’t bake. I’ve put my stove on twice in the last four months or so. I used to cook. I cooked curries, chowders, and stews. I baked fudge brownies and sour cream apple pies. I used to. And, then I didn’t. And, now I […]
The sun beamed in to awaken my spirits My eyes wanted to feel the warmth Then I remembered how I had been wrecked My veil of safety pierced My heart punctured through and through Sorrow filling the air pockets Tears dripping from confusion It shouldn’t have happened Bland […]
Despite the context, I am quite fortunate to be able to walk to and from work everyday. I’m often above 80 minutes of exercise time on a daily basis. I get to listen to music while also taking in real-time the pulse of the city. I see anxiety. […]
