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
It is a sad fact of my life that often when I travel some tragedy occurs. Actually, it is not a sad part of my life. Its a sad part of the collective pain we all experience. With social media and 24 hour news cycles we are […]
At 5:45am, although I was still in mid-dream, my son bursted into the room giddy and jumping ten feet into the air. Well, maybe not ten feet. But surely quite high. He was super excited and that jubilant 9-year old excitement could not be contained. Late in the […]
Many a moon ago, on this day, Walt Disney World opened up in Orlando. The land of make believe and magic. It must have all seemed like part of a fanciful dream. Nowadays, I don’t imagine being excited about the opening of a magical land. I’m […]

I am going to be honest with you. I actually don’t remember what this post is supposed to be about. Four days ago I wrote down these three words: lackluster, lukewarm, and late. I write notes to myself all the time. I have a chapter ideas. I have […]
I have only had my dog for about one week. But I love him already. I loved him the second I held him. How can you not love a beautiful, gentle creature without a home? He is just so precious to me. And he is totally different from […]
I am not too sure why we have to, as a society, remind people that everyone is layered. We are not just one thing or the other. In my past life as a facilitator (trainer), I would often ask the session participants to think of five […]
I have an absolutely fabulous memory. I can remember exactly what someone told me ten years ago in a conversation. I can certainly remember quite well what I was told last week. Well, unless I chose to forget it. I kid. I will admit I don’t remember […]
There is no magic pill to make awful people nice. There is no fairy godmother to remove awful people from our lives. There is no fairy godmother that will give us a glass slipper allowing one to live in a highly-guarded castle. Awful people are everywhere. They pop […]
I should know better And indeed, I do But yet, I don’t know better And, I know I should I should know better But I do the opposite Fully aware I’m not doing better It’s the same old story Time should know better But it […]
