Can you recover from….?
When I was a tween, I used to play a weird game. A nerdy game. I had this calculator. A gray one. And I would hit a few numbers and it would go off and do some odd number churning. My friend and I would play this quite […]

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.

Made new friends: Thankfully I’ve moved around a lot
In the past five years, I have lived in four cities. It’s not as crazy as it sounds. Ok. Maybe a little. I’m a nomad. I have wanderlust. I thrive on pressure and listen to a calling to help communities in need. It’s my thing. It’s how I […]
Even if you don’t want to go ahead and laugh
I just finished watching a couple of dog videos on Facebook shared by my friends. I’m a dog person and thus had to watch them. I not only watched them but I liked one of them. I can’t recall which one. They were both of similar tone but […]
You are often one decision away from a different life
This past weekend I skipped my college reunion. Not a startling decision considering I just am not into things like that. I stay in touch with the people I wish to. I suppose it could be nice to see how some people changed. But inevitably it’s almost always […]
Walking by past my door
Several years back a work colleague displayed what, at the time, I considered to be a slightly odd quirk. I didn’t think too much of it but it had made me think the person was overly cautious. Having grown up in New York I understood on a DNA […]
How could she escape if the moon was not within reach
She opened the refrigerator, letting the door rock back. She took a sip of water as the smell of cigarettes knocked her back. His cigarettes. She closed the refrigerator to only find that he wasn’t there. Of course, he wasn’t. He hadn’t been for over a decade. But […]
She needed fun, mirth, and a perch
It was their dream home! Her dream home. It reminded her of a Dr. Seuss building. That was the type of wimsy she needed in her life. She needed fun, mirth, and a perch. She didn’t really know what that meant. She just liked saying it. And, that […]
Pet Peeve: Yes, I turned it off
Every morning I do a song and dance with my hallway. I step out of my home into the hallway. I then step right back in. I run to the bathroom and note that indeed I had turned off the flat iron. I then run back out and […]
If it is to be, it’s up to me: And, I like that
I used to say, even write at times, “it is what it is”. I would feel it strongly. I preached it. I passed it on as advice. Although, admittedly, the first time I heard someone tell me that in a meeting I frowned and “downgraded” in my mind. […]
When to provide a heads up
Loyalty is expected but hard to give sometimes. Or so it seems these days. People want to believe others will have their back, but daily life is layered in nuance and competing interests. It also seems that some have taken to heart Game of Thrones believing life is […]
