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
It was a girl’s road trip. Or rather it was a girl’s about-to-graduate-college-looking-for-their-next-role road trip. We drove down eagerly from upstate New York down to Washington, DC.

The helpfulness of swearing up a storm and using vibrating pills: This week’s weird news around the globe It’s another wacky week where oddities abound. However, it is mother’s day. A day where we celebrate the beauty of motherhood and the true love one has for […]
Your hunger drives my soul Your outstretched legs expand my awe Your curled-up body sweeps me up in love Your quietly sitting eyes push my dance for joy Your tears sting my eyes Your pained arm crushes my heart Your hunger drives my soul Your laughter heals my […]
Panama City: In Constant Movement and Stasis Panama City is a lovely booming city filled with a diverse group of people who are coming and going. There are walkways throughout to encourage movement even in the high noon heat. Panama City is rightly known for […]
As I walk out of Grand Central station and head to work, I am bombarded with advertisements with all sorts of wild claims. Some juices cure you of Vitamin D deficiencies and some airlines have enough legroom that you can stretch out and not develop deep vein thrombosis. […]
April: I hardly knew ya but you left ghosts and dead characters in your wake The flowers are sort of blooming. The tree pollen count is starting to skyrocket. The eyes are watery and the memory a little groggy. The trains are filled with sneezes, sniffles and sighs. […]
