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
I will state it from the outset. I do not care for wireless earphones. I really don’t. I know they are all the rage. Everywhere I turn, someone has them on. It seems like so many feel like it bestows prestige upon the earphone wearer. I don’t get […]

Many, many years ago when I was dirt poor I needed a new pair of shoes for an event. And, then someone just left a brand new pair of shoes behind that I fit into and managed to keep for five years. Life is a wonder at times. […]
Today there is no snark. No sadness. No complaints. Just gratitude for what I have, including the great people who are my bedrock. I’ve made some good friends this year. I’ve been to some interesting places. I’ve had a variety of great bread pudding. I left ugliness behind. […]
This past week, there was an opinion piece about US Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg. It was an extremely biting piece about his leadership style. I don’t know much about him and have no idea how true that opinion piece may be. It is an opinion piece so I […]
My mother’s birthday was about ten days ago or so. Or rather, it would have been her birthday. I celebrated it quietly in my head and heart. I steeled myself for a few minutes during the day to wish her a grand day. I didn’t get a chance […]
Excitedly looking to the future Eagerly awaiting a grand change Circles upon circles I strolled Saw fiery red circles Heard bombastic rumors All you offered was a frontal suture Denials were a firing range Ego trips was all you doled On the back of your monster squirrels With […]
We live in a time when indulgences are all the rage. Everywhere we turn we are afforded an opportunity to indulge ourselves. The whole Netflix and chill evening is an indulgence. We get to binge watch television shows to the point that we can avoid advertisements and don’t […]
