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’s something most people don’t understand? Immediately, upon losing a dear one, you are often emotionally devastated. You are left without words. You may even forget to eat. Then, depending on your associated role with the one who has passed, you get mired in paperwork and various heavy […]

It’s been a dark, cruel winter. Decades ago, Bananarama sang about a cruel summer. “Hot summer streets and the pavements are burningI sit aroundTrying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry” Just substitute out the word “summer” for “winter”. Such a word substitution captures the […]
Many a true word is spoken in jest. And, that was her overall framework in life. She had taken out all her card decks, including the tarot, and threw them down. She was looking for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world. The joker was everywhere. Mysterious. Perhaps not […]
Every day, somewhere and everywhere in New York City, is street-cleaning day. As such, there are days when you have to make sure to move your car so as to let the street cleaning truck do its thing. It is utter chaos for about 30 minutes. People hurry […]
The last few months have not been great months for me healthwise. I’ve been to specialist after specialist with no definitive findings and relatively little concern from the providers. Empathy fatigue is a real thing out there. However, I will not vent about that any further. Just riles […]
It’s just another day,Where people cling to light,To drive away the fear,That comes with every night–oingo boingo What a day! The amount I accomplished yet not accomplished is both outstanding and staggering on some levels. All day, I’ve also had a ringworm pounding in my head. I’ve been […]
