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 sun was shining brightly this Sunday morning and I could not help but murmur to myself “and let there be light.” Just last night I changed time zones, returning to East Coast time, gaining an hour to just end up losing it again at 2am this Sunday. Why […]
The last few days, well, the last few weeks I have been mumbling to myself “this too shall pass.” The Urban Dictionary definition “A phrase that seems to simply state the obvious but actually implies helplessness.” Sometimes your workload can be so excruciatingly heavy that you cannot see […]
Do you ever get tired of calling people by their proper names? Have you worked with someone for over 5 years and you barely remember what their real, passport name is? Maybe you have never known it. Nicknames in the workplace are all the rage these days. Former President […]

“I don’t know what everyone’s talking about, that outfit doesn’t make you look like a hooker.” – Xander (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) “Pretty girls” in the workplace has been a conversation headliner the last few months in different media sites and in office spaces. Just the other day […]
Hispanics are big dreamers; eating up every type of dream in all senses of the word. They dream of a better life.
