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

What I didn’t know 190 days ago about what today would be like July 30th is here and it is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s birthday. It is also an important day for soccer aficionados as that is when the first FIFA world cup was won back in 1930. […]
Force myself to relax and then hit the ongoing fast-paced merry-go-round The airplane violently shook for about three hours straight from Los Angeles to New York. I covered my head, prayed, held my son’s little fingers and tried to sleep. I had already been through the 14 hour […]
Fear The blood drips It’s dark and menacing Fear Need a fenced-in crib For the day of reckoning Fear Legs cannot stand upright While the blood circles about Fear Don’t shine the floodlight The body builds up a shout Fear The blood drips The stomach curls The bile […]
