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
Supposedly, here in the United States the unemployment rate is at less than 4%. Outstanding! It means that for certain fields and people, it shouldn’t be too hard to get a job if you are actively looking. Maybe, even if you are not actively looking. Here in California, […]
She loved her morning runs. They were peaceful yet invigorating. She could zone out and be extremely focused as well. That was partly why she ended up moving all the way out here; so far away from it all. She also came out here because she […]

I love May. I particularly love it in my old stomping grounds of New York. Just last week I mentioned to someone out here in California the old adage “April showers bring May flowers” and they had no idea what I was talking about. True enough it […]
There is always time For work And more work We are busy bees Without a bonnet Nor a true net We walk the tightrope Day in and day out Hoping beyond hope That there is a truth And true meaning Who wouldn’t to have some bearing? But we […]
When you are young, naive and in a new environment there is often a great unease with which one can walk around. I remember when I first went off to boarding school, I knew one other person there. We hadn’t been great friends beforehand but we surely became […]
She loved coming up here ever since she was a little girl. Her pigtails may be gone but her enthusiasm and love of this spot was still wedged deep into her heart. And how could it not? The serenity was divine. The views even more so. […]
