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
Ah, Monday, we meet again. As if dragging ourselves out of bed after a weekend of Netflix and snacks wasn’t hard enough, it’s also a holiday week! I can already hear the collective groan of commuters reluctantly acknowledging the existence of another work week. But wait—there’s a silver […]
Have you ever had surgery? What for? Yes, I have had surgery. In fact, if I tally it up, I’ve had three. Although, I feel like I’m forgetting one. And, if I am, so be it Two were for a recurring issue, and a brand-new problem popped up […]

This morning at 6am, I found myself performing a modern urban ritual: the last-minute garbage run before pickup. As I dragged the bin to the curb, grumbling about the early hour, I caught a whiff of something unexpected. It was the unmistakable smell of summer. For the first […]
Today, I made a radical decision as a New Yorker: I didn’t run for the earlier train. Shocking, I know. Normally, I would sprint, heart pounding, lungs gasping, asthma wheezing, just to save a mere 15 minutes. But today, I chose differently. Picture this: I stood on the […]
Fridays are typically a beacon of respite, but today’s headlines were a mixed bag. Amidst the global chaos, a story about record-breaking heatwaves stood out. As I read about sweltering temperatures wreaking havoc across continents, I couldn’t help but think about my own summer plans—still on hold due […]
In the quiet of the morning,Before the world awakens,I feel the weight of expectation,A burden I’ve not forsaken. They see me as the glue,The strength that holds them tight,But being everyone’s adhesive,Is a never-ending fight. I patch up all the cracks,Mend hearts and shattered dreams,Yet the glue that […]
Sunday mornings are my cherished slice of peace. I brew a strong coffee and settle into the couch, skimming the Sunday news on my phone and Twitter feed. Sorry, “X” feed. This morning, a headline caught my eye: “Andrew McCarthy Revisits the Brat Pack Days.” McCarthy, a staple […]
Tuesdays have always felt like the forgotten middle child of the week—neither the fresh start of Monday nor the hopeful anticipation of Friday. But today, this random Tuesday, was about to change that narrative in the most peculiar way. The morning started with my usual routine, Florence and […]
