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.

Today, unlike some past Mondays, I will not mention the Monday blues. Today will be sunshine and rose petals. For, why not? If the day ends up crapping out, then so be it. I will have at least tried to be somewhat sunny. That’s where the word “hello” […]

Many years ago, I gleefully bought a sweatshirt that says “done”. I keep it around with me so that I put it on at any given moment. “Done” can be that I’m celebrating finishing a project. “Done” can be that I’m fed up and not tolerating it anymore. […]
