Ever since I was a little girl growing up in the South Bronx, I noted that I was going to be different from the other Puerto Ricans in my neighborhood. I wanted to be different and to get out of the neighborhood. I saw change, from my […]
I have never fully watched the movie How Stella Got Her Groove Back. When the movie first came out I was too young to get the angst Angela Bassett’s character felt. Honestly, I still don’t. That’s ok. What I did appreciate were her extremely toned arms. I remember […]
I recently brought in some rubber chickens into the workplace. Specifically, I brought in small flying rubber chickens to use in management meetings. They are funny! They fly high. They wake people up. You can zip up to a sleeping manager. You can toss them around when […]

Clumsiness: walking into walls and falling over chairs I will come right out and say it. I am one of the clumsiest people around. And I am not exaggerating. In popular culture, such an honor may belong to the actress Jennifer Lawrence. She has fallen more times in […]
