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 to make of random events and sightings? Shrug. Accept them. Give them meaning. Discount them. My mom believed everything had meaning. Everything was a symbol. For everything, there was a sign. I used to laugh at her propensity for uber-symbolism. However, I was steeped in it. And, […]
I love working out. I often begrudgingly wake up early to go work out. I either go for a 60-minute walk or 45 minutes on the elliptical. Once I’m working out, I get pumped and jazzed. Sometimes working out longer than originally intented. Why do I get so […]
What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? I’m not a hoarder. However, I readily admit that I have some clothes, shoes, and handbags that I’ve had for decades. I suppose I’m lucky, in a sense, that those items not only have lasted so long […]

What notable things happened today? To be notable is to stand out. Days that blend into each other often offer little that is notable. It could be that what was notable was that you got up from your chair at least ten times. As I look back on […]
This year has not been kind. It’s been one challenge, devastation, or roadblock after another. People widely remark on my strength. And, that I do have. However, everything takes a toll eventually. Unrelenting Unbelievable Unbearable Unfortunate Uneasy Unkind Uncertain Unmoored Untethered Unappealing But hopefully unbreakable
It seems that everywhere I turn, I’m confronting a lie. Misinformation. Masking of reality. Some people talk real fast to push through what is not true. Some spin a hundred and one stories to keep you from digging deeper. Let me tell you something. Just straightforward. We are […]
I thought I had the words. Thought I had the stamina. But my energy is low. My mind is blank. Yet, it is racing. Thoughts are flowing. But the thoughts might as well have wings. My eyes are drooping. My fingers are not nimble. Yet, I really had […]
I’m dying of thirst. Super dry. chapped lips. Thirsty. Drinking my saliva. Wishing for a cold drink. Looking all over feeling like I’m trapped in a desert. My tongue seeks a drop of moisture. My skin is cracking. Thirsty. Very thirsty. Yet no matter how thirsty, never drink […]
What are the most important things needed to live a good life? It hasn’t been a great year. And, that is an understatement. Yes, one needs love and hugs for a good life. A sense of purpose is extremely important to guide one in life to reach that […]
