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 am a happy bee this morning. This week I move into my new apartment in Los Angeles. It is in the same building, just 6 floors higher and about double the square footage. I am excited to feel a bit more settled this coming week as […]

A few weeks back, we celebrated the glory of film by watching an overlong telecast of the Oscars where celebrities wore mega-priced gowns and suits while reading off scripted jokes or “moving” lines. It was a rather “ho-him” event in my opinion. To each his or her […]
There have been several times, ok many times, in the workplace, when I have cautioned individuals with the known saying “be careful what you wish for.” How many times have people wished for a particular project, promotion or pat on the back to only come to […]
Growing up in a Puerto Rican household in the South Bronx wasn’t easy. There was crime, asthma and vacant lots all around us. The Bronx had burned at one point and it is still building up. There were also superstitions for every type of occasion that […]
Apparently, I do not suffer fools very well, if at all. I make faces in meetings when people say incredibly false statements that they expect everyone to outright believe. I show my incredulousness by wrinkling my nose at some people’s stupidity. Just this past week, I had […]
