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
There’s no guaranteed lightswitch
Instability Rickety slates The air empty of fate Sprinting through the heavy doors Blinded by the darkness Dizzy spots fill the irises Blood pressure rises The boogeyman awaits The city lights but a flicker in the highrises There’s no guaranteed lightswitch There’s no real life insurance Just forbearance and weighted […]

I was roadkill
I was roadkill Left to rot I was roadkill Then I was not I was disconnected from life Others ignoring the lifeless bodies on the roads I was destined for more But then I was roadkill Rumble strips and salt licks No refuge or shelter I was roadkill Left […]
The Psychology of being inspired by stupidity in the workplace
Many of us seek role models. When we are children we look up to our parents, family members, teachers and maybe even the family dog. I know my dog Milo inspired me with his tenaciousness. Many, sadly, also look up to celebrities, including rock stars and football […]
Galileo’s Moons on a day like today
Today, way back in 1610, Galileo Galilei sighted four of Jupiter’s moons. The four moons were the first group of objects found to orbit another planet. Galileo went on to name them Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto and set the course for astronomy, telecommunications and movies. Well, in a convoluted, […]
Magical realism in a coffee cup
The bakery called to her after her strenuous morning workout. She went to have coffee surrounded by others so that she wouldn’t cry causing the heavily-sugared coffee to bubble. She sat with her croissant and latte dreaming of what was next. Around-the-world sailing? She couldn’t swim, though. […]
In honor of mom: I won’t defer my travel dreams
Last year I had three different jobs in three different cities. Work and work life and work travel consumed my life. Last year from February to June, I was traveling back and forth between San Francisco and New York about twice a month. Then I spent […]
