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 to admit to something. I did not watch Star Wars as a kid when it first came out. I actually didn’t watch Star Wars (any of the three original ones) until I was in college. I also had never seen Its a Wonderful Life until I […]
A few years ago, I used to travel a ton for work. One of the places I had to go to, at least once a year, was Puerto Rico. My Spanish was not the greatest but I certainly tried my best to communicate and get my points […]

Oh, where to land now Another place tomorrow Pedaling quickly I am not a bike rider. And that is perhaps one of my biggest understatements ever. Maybe. I believe I have already shared how I also hate spinning. I don’t get it. I also do not like […]
I never thought that this day would come. For eight years now, I hug my little boy each day and call him my baby. For he will always be my baby. That is what he has promised me in the past. Just this week, Facebook showed me […]
I let you down You died before my eyes I saw your eyes cry You didn’t understand Why didn’t I hold you? Why didn’t I cusp your face? Why didn’t I touch your hand? I’m ashamed I’m battered I’m adrift Pain killed you Pain kills me Pain inures […]
My son loves pizza. And that is an understatement. When we went to Rome, he was ecstatic because he could feasibly have pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner. That was the definition of extreme happiness. He grew up on New York pizza. Well, he is still growing up […]
Have you ever heard the song “Here’s where the story ends” by the Sundays? The song is a couple of decades old and was popular on college radio back in the day. It has a soft, pleasing melody that somewhat hides a darker vision of the world. Notably, […]
