I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
Everyday I look at a baby picture or two of my son. Then, I proceed to send him a few so he can reminisce with me. However, he is not so inclined. Regardless, I continue to send him said photos. It gives me great pleasure to look at […]
Every year I come up with a word that is meant to guide and direct me. Provide me with purpose. This past year, I recycled the word “joy”. And this year (at its halfway mark) has not been particularly joyful. I could go ahead and lament the year […]
