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 have a love-hate relationship with spellcheck. As a kid, I used to be a story-teller. I was a champion that liked narrating short stories. Some would say I am still a story teller. Even as part of my management style, I use stories to drive home […]
Sometimes we hold great anticipation for events and things that we forget to actually appreciate the actual event. I know many women who noted that they had planned and planned endlessly for their wedding day and then it came and went in a blink of an eye. I […]

I avoid television newscasts like the plague. Or at least I try to do so. I’m not perfect and occasionally, I catch a news segment or two. And then, I hit myself in the head for having done so. I know better. It’s all the same […]
Admittedly, I have been obsessed with my house move. Everything about my move into my new (but really old) Los Angeles house has been fodder for venting, reflecting, and rejoicing. It’s been trying times. It’s been fun times. It’s been tiring times. We are several weeks […]
Rooted in place Unable to move Despondent and exhausted Everything in slow motion Stasis For which there is no basis Perhaps there is a righteous claim The turtles are winning the footrace The countermove is to get into the groove But its all contorted and […]
I readily admit I buy many items from Amazon. I know that I have a couple of facebook friends that urge others to not shop at Amazon as they want to encourage mom and pop shopping. I am all for shopping at small businesses. However, sometimes, it […]
I love sugar. Well, I have always loved sugar. I have written many odes to various sweet treats. I have no shame in saying that I love sugar. My doctor used to laugh at me as I brought in a bag of candy to my annual phsyicals. […]
