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.

The Psychology of Asking for a Little Bit of Respect in the Workplace
We pay a lot of lip service to respect. At an early age, we start talking to children about showing respect to parents, family members, teachers and adults in general. There if even the thought that when a child respects a parent then they will obey out of […]
Elvis’ Graceland Wall of Accomplishments: What Do our Own Walls of Praise Mean?
It is striking how much Elvis accomplished by such a early age in life. How many musicians nowadays can reach such a stage? How do we, us mere mortals, note our accomplishments without a wall of gold records? When I visit someone’s office I immediately notice their mounted […]
How do I love to Blog? Let me Count the Ways
On a whim, close to a year ago, I decided to start a blog. I started it as a practice run for a then upcoming work assignment. I have always been a storyteller but I didn’t know about this blog thing. It seemed vaguely exhibitionist-like and that it […]

Once Upon a Time Introducing Oneself was an Art Form
Once upon a time, I would sit at a desk, work on my resume and print it out on special resume paper. You know that nice thick stock paper that was slightly off-white or, rather, ivory-colored. It had a nice watermark and 100% cotton fiber. It was meant […]
Life is a Moment in Time and then That Moment Passes
Carpe diem. You only live once. Seize the Day. And so on. These are all phrases that can sound so trite. But guess what. That moment does indeed pass. What do you want to do about it? Watch the ship pass you by, while the bird flies away […]
Summer is almost here and my son will be a four year old “lazying” about; just as he should be.
Summer is coming, supposedly. We just celebrated Memorial Day and barbeque parties have already begun to fill the suburban landscape. We were supposed to have a heat wave this week in New York (you know three days in a row of 90 degree weather) but that may have […]
R.I.P. in the Alley, Your Legacy Lives On
Walking down a quiet random alley in the middle of Curacao, I came across a tribute to an unknown individual and found a moment of peace and beauty: a loved one left behind will find their own way of honoring one’s legacy.
Understanding and Navigating Latina Identity through the Tale of Two Ritas
Understanding Latina Identity through the tale of two Ritas When I was a wee one around 11 years old, I entered a storytelling contest and won. My prize, or what I can still remember, was this beautiful, shiny hardback copy of Charles Dicken’s “A Tale of Two Cities”. […]
