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
Glowing antlers, wigs and crumbs: Art is in the eye of the wacky beholder. Is the Olympics almost over? Does anyone else feel underwhelmed by the Olympics or is it just me? Blah. This past week one of the news items that went viral very quickly was that […]
Whimsy in a bottle: Rock concerts, cocktails and slides Because of the nature of work lately, I was not able to go on holiday vacation this past season. I had a little bit of a staycation during December but I still somehow managed to work. Ok. Let me […]

The day I negotiated the purchase of local artwork behind a telephone pole in Havana, Cuba The humidity was creating a grand frizz on my head. I didn’t care however as I sauntered down the Paseo del Prado. How vibrant and eclectic and entirely intoxicating. Cuba was so […]
Being silent nevermore: I now raise the roof on behalf of those whose voices have been muted Growing up I was labeled as “gifted”. I was offered the opportunity to skip a grade, which I wisely declined. Teachers in the South Bronx loved me. I was studious. I […]
Afternoon Delight: the varying meanings throughout the years My mom loved to listen to music. Sundays were a day for us performing her favorite tunes. I was so embedded in her musical world that I barely knew of the popular music of my time. I knew Elvis and […]
February: You Give Me Fever and a Legacy Quest February is a bit of a vexing month. It’s shorter than other months. There is a day that appears every four years. We are steeped in snow hibernating in our rapidly claustrophobic homes. This sense of claustrophobia, could be […]
The Olympics are still occurring, or so I hear. I have not really bothered to keep up with the event or its coverage. I did see an article that talked about the 100,000 condoms that were being distributed at the Olympic Village as well as the big uptick […]
Peace, love and understanding wrapped up in my treasured folk-art piece As a poor girl growing up in the South Bronx, I didn’t have much. I definitely didn’t have much that was of monetary value. I didn’t really have that many toys; which may be why I […]
