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 do you love about where you live? The past year, I’ve really been thinking about what it is that I love about New York. I’ve always lived it, and I believe that I always will. New York is both an easy and difficult city to love. So […]
What positive emotion do you feel most often? Serenity. That is a nice word. Calm. Peace. Zen. A beautiful kid’s name, as well. It’s a state of being that I fear too little of us experience. It seems that nowadays, we’re in a constant state of cacophony. We […]

What is a word you feel that too many people use? Every year, there are a few words that just get overused to the point that they are meaningless, have lost their oomph, or are a conversation ender. We went from “on fleek” to “OK, boomer” to “woke.” […]
What brings you peace? Peace Piece of cake Slice of pie Whole pizza Bowl of gumbo Plate of macaroons Binge a few detective shows Chow down on drunken noodles Sip a watermelon mojito Twenty minutes of sun Thirty minutes in a bath Ten seconds of a heartbeat The […]
The room was meant to evoke a sense of nostalgia. The room was supposed to provide comfort in the face of extreme anxiety. Her heart was pounding, and she needed some calming tea. She wanted a fainting couch. Actually, she wanted to run away. Everything here would serve […]
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell? Hope. They say (or some do) that all we need is love. Sure, we need love. No doubt. But to get to love, sometimes we need hope. More and more, I feel the stirring power […]
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time? Of course, as you go through the day to day hustle and bustle in a city such as New York, you have to always worry about what you have on you. I’m serious. You need […]
Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that. Recently, there was a news article on NPR regarding astronauts and rashes. Specifically, the article asked why some people get rashes in space? Apparently, there’s a clue in astronaut blood. […]
