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 have entered the final stretch of the year that has been. December has marked the end of the year and the start of wintertime since ancient Romans solidified their first calendar. December can be beautiful when the snowfall first starts. And it can be dirty, mushy […]
It all seemed so mundane. But it wasn’t. It was also all so bland yet tedious. How had life become that way? She didn’t know. But then again she couldn’t feel anymore. She was an empty vessel just like any on that shelf. Except she would never be […]
It is amazing how many people do not think before they speak. I think we are advised from an early age that we should pause, listen and craft our messages. Sure, that becomes more and more nuanced from kindergarten onwards. Some people may not be as tactful as […]
