I personally have been experiencing crazy, lucid, vivid dreams this past year. It’s my understanding that many others have as well. Probably everyone at this point. We went through a pandemic that seemed never-ending. Well, we are still in the midst of a pandemic. But hope is in […]
Alzheimer’s scares me. I think it should scare everyone. Our memories ground us into a reality (regardless of how we have constructed it). Yet Alzheimer’s is a disease that makes us unrecognizable to ourselves and robs us of our memories and corresponding stability. Alzheimer’s is the result […]
I have restarted this post several times trying to find the right words. But this one is hard. And not because of any reason other than I don’t want to sounds like I am being snarky or funny. Because my concern is serious. Last year four people […]
These days the news seems quite overwhelming. The news cycle is 24/7 and just doesn’t let up. It is just constant and often the same old, same old story. It can be enough for one to tune it all out. It can be enough for one to miss […]

When I was a tween I suffered through embarrassment after embarrassment. Some incidents truly mortifying. As a young girl, we go through very painful events in our lives that just make us cringe. Menstrual onset, pimples, and first bras are some of the most excruciatingly embarrassing moments in […]
There was a period of time, when I was young, in which it seemed I was headed towards a career in holography. I wasn’t a STEM student, although I was labeled as gifted. Yet, holograms were part of my thought considerations. There were times when it appeared that […]
I am ostensibly a data geek. Apparently always have been. Although, at times it has been by default. Take for instance when I worked at the US Department of Justice. I could add, I could create graphs and I could (more or less) explain the numbers. Bingo. I […]
