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 had quite a dilemma this week. I’m what is known as an extroverted introvert. I can function, even be gregarious, in groups but I hate large events. I was at a conference where my hotel was packed with participants from three different simultaneously held conferences. That was […]
While I am not a complete fan yet of Los Angeles, I have come to appreciate (its not very hard to by the way) the nice weather. I have especially come to appreciate sun and 70 degree weather in the so-called winter time. However, make no mistake […]
For an extroverted introverted person, such as myself, this week has been both physically and mentally draining. I had to attend a health conference in Washington, DC and attend meeting after meeting. I actually enjoyed the legislative hill visits I partook in, as they served as a reminder […]

I am a little behind on my movie viewing. I made it to the movie theatre three times this past year which was a lot more than my average viewing experience lately. When I fly cross country on my business trips, I get to treat myself to […]
Ever since I was a little girl, I liked being a contrarian. I liked talking. I was a chatterbox. And I liked countering people. Thus, I was maybe a bit much to take as a kid but my mother managed to turn my chatterbox nature into a plus. […]
As a little girl, I don’t believe I had many shoes. We were poor. We had what we needed. But shoes were important to my life. I remember really wanting a pair of high top converse sneakers. I dreamt if having it. I dreamt of walking to school […]
I just had a mentally and physically hard week. Ten to twelve hour days filled with stressful interactions while I tried to maintain a smile and calm demeanor. I would have loved a primal scream moment. But, alas, no such opportunity arose. Most others would treat themselves to […]
When I was a young girl, I was a major nerd that definitely tried to get in good with the teachers. I was sweet, timid and smart. The teachers did, for the most part, like me. I was their success story. When school district administrators came by […]
