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

The other day a new friend, a colleague, was driving me from the airport and we had to cross a bridge. She hesitated in her speech, looking flustered. She then revved up the car. She turned to me and noted she hated bridges. Rather, she hated driving […]

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 […]
