I used to be one of those women…
Back when I was a kid, teenager and college girl, I noted that I did not want to have children. I didn’t want to fall in to that “trap” and be one of “those” women. I mean, I hated how at such a young age I was […]
The Battery of Life Candy Jar
Not a single battery more fits into the candy jar. She longed for the days when life was simple and a candy jar was filled with candy. Since when did we need to remind ourselves that we needed to recharge our minds, body and soul? Her family […]
The ghostly hand on my shoulder
It started off with a smell. An odor. A sense of deja vu. I recognized that smell but couldn’t quite place it. I looked around walking up to the meters. It was a basement afterall and there could be a gas leak or other odd event. It is […]
I love traveling with my son
Last week I had to travel to Anaheim for work. In case you do not know, Anaheim is where Disneyland is located. I repeat I had to go there for work. I checked into my hotel where everything was about Disney. The cafe sold mickey mouse trinkets. The […]
I’ll Be Back Hollywood Wax Museum

Despite not being a girl, my son is stylish. Ok. I will get a backlash at that sentence perhaps. But do let me explain. I always said that if I had to have a child I wanted it to be a boy. I felt girls would be […]
Fitting into his shoes: How can that be?
I have left several workplaces the last few years where I left an indelible mark. I have left nice, fancy hard-to-fill shoes behind for those that follow me. It is not that I am arrogant, I just know my worth, value and contributions. And many others […]
Palm trees in my heart soaking up the tears
Who doesn’t love palm trees? In the past, palms were symbols of victory, peace, and fertility. The Romans rewarded champions of the games and celebrated success in war with palm branches. The South Carolina flag has a palm tree which I did not realize was a palm tree […]
White flowers just scream out to me like the lambs in Clarice’s dream
The month of January has not been too kind to me throughout the last six years. I am hoping that this January I can be a bit more settled. No snow. No cross-country moves. Just a bit of mourning for my mom and my beloved dog […]
In honor of mom: I won’t defer my travel dreams
Last year I had three different jobs in three different cities. Work and work life and work travel consumed my life. Last year from February to June, I was traveling back and forth between San Francisco and New York about twice a month. Then I spent […]
