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
There are times when you are faced with situations that are completely unbearable. And, no matter how many times you note that “this too shall pass,” you can’t self-soothe. We often, as a society, advise new moms to let a crying baby cry it out and “self-soothe.” That […]
This year has not been easy, and it’s only February. Some people say it can only get better from here. Statistically speaking, I’m not convinced of that. Nonetheless, I keep going allowing myself to vent here and there along the way. Today, I just had to stop and […]
I readily admit that I have been quite sad and depressing of late. It is life. This year, decided to deal me with a tough hand. I’m strong. I’m resilient. With that said, I’m going to write about a trivial societal issue. During the Super Bowl, I saw […]

She looked up at the building. It had taken her two hours to get her. Although, in actuality, it had taken her ten years. Here she was with all the courage she could muster. She put gloves on and grabbed the fire escape ladder. She climbed up to […]
For some, clowns are scary. They can be creepy. They can be a bit other-worldly. I, myself, don’t know what I feel about clowns. I knew a real clown once. He was odd but not creepy. He was nice but hiding a big secret. Which I never will […]
My sweet, sweet dog. He is a bit skittish and anxious. Yet, he is extremely playful and content in ripping a chew toy apart. In seeking moments of zen, he brings quiet and levity. He’s also a chameleon. He is a grey dog who, at times, looks blue. […]
Brain fog is a real thing. Drives me crazy that there are moments in which my brain zaps out. It’s not something I’ve ever really experienced. But these days, I find myself lost in space. I’ll look out the window or at a wall for a split second. […]
We’ve all seen the Hallmark cards, the roses lined up in stores, and the overcrowded restaurants. Valentine’s day is a commercialized (some would say) day to celebrate love. I, personally, have never really felt a grand need to go to a fancy restaurant for Valentine’s day. At times, […]
