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
As I write this, I am alternating between having the giggles, feeling guilty and repeatedly singing (and wanting to mute myself) “It’s a small world after all.” Talk about a horrifying earworm. But before I explain my current state of being, let me provide a backdrop. I am […]
I am a clumsy person by nature. Ever since I can remember, I have been twisting my ankles, walking into walls and just generally walking a zig zag pattern. If people didn’t know better, they would think I am drunk. I’d like to attribute my clumsiness to the […]
I was startled, astonished and dismayed when a colleague told me she got all her news from Facebook. I thought about how no one reads news articles anymore. If something is more than 750 words it better have a lot of photos to soften the reading burden. I […]
I am a walker. I am a New Yorker. I can easily walk 4 miles in a day and not blink or cramp up. I love the euphoria I get from walking. I also love that I know I can out-walk most other people, including potential thieves. Yes, […]
Have you heard a good toast lately that wasn’t in the movies? I grew up on television. Big time. And before you admonish me on the perils of television viewing, I will let you know that I came out perfectly normal, thank you. And even if I hadn’t […]
I have taken numerous art history classes throughout my life span as a way to enrich myself. It has always been for my own edification. and have loved learning of the passion, the politics and the madness within and as a result of art. In that vein, I […]
Talk to me, dance with me Under the gaze of the facade Making my way downtown Just to see the rhythm of life The sky passes its time Catching the murals of yore Collective memories while walking by fast Here today, a new vision tomorrow Flashbacks on lovely […]
Partnerships. Where would we be without them? Whether it’s rowing together, traveling in tandem or enjoying a cocktail it’s always nice to have a partner in crime. Sure, it’s great to be able to come up with an idea by oneself and self promote its brilliance but […]
I am used to being the only girl around. I worked for ten years at a non-profit that was about 90% men. At my first real job a few decades ago, all my “real” friends were men. When I went to graduate school and my whole cohort […]
I have now been in Los Angeles exactly six months and I think I am getting the hang of it. I know to add an extra 20 minutes to any commute, to expect meetings to start about 10 minutes late (if lucky) and that regardless of neighborhood type […]
