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’m out in LA, the land of sun, surf and Hollywood dreams. It’s also the land of horrible traffic, poor public transportation infrastructure and oil wells well within beach range. Yes, I am not exaggerating. But I am not here to bash LA. Not really. Today, I […]
I know I lost something But I don’t recall what it was The pillow tried to remind me But its all a faint memory What did I lose? What have I lost? What is there to lose? Mind sifting and drumming Reveling in unknown nostalgia Though lost, there […]
A while ago, I was explaining to someone (who was very agitated by their boss’ feedback) that they shouldn’t expect work expectations in the workplace. I know that sounds very odd and counterintuitive and maybe even counter-productive. I explained, that at times, people are more reactionary than proactive […]

I will tell you right off the bat, that as a New Yorker I look at parking lots with disdain. I see the empty space and think about how we can build out housing complexes. That’s why I was so tickeled at a recent activist meeting that […]
