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

Forgive and Forget: What about lessons learned? Fairy tales serve as a way to caution us about the world and to also, in a way, encourage forgiveness. Honestly, I couldn’t tell you whether sleepy beauty ever did forgive the one that cursed her. I assume that she did […]
Go Ahead and put the Blame on Mame –Meaning Me The second I turned in my one-month resignation notice, I knew two things (1) one month is a long, long time to stay somewhere when you are out the door, and (2) I would be blamed for everything […]
Living for the intricacies of life I will start off with an obvious note: life is not easy. At least for some people. Even celebrities will argue that their lives are very difficult. Probably to many of us, not on that extreme income spectrum that actually have to […]
