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.
Eleven years ago today my mom departed this earth. Eleven years. The grief is not any less. The sting is not any less sharp. Fittingly it’s ground hog day. My mom liked the day. She would try to predict what Punxsutawney Phil would predict. We also loved the […]
Happy lunar new year! It is the year of the tiger. I find myself humming to Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger song. The tiger is commonly associated with something like bravery, courage and strength. The tiger can also be viewed as an uplifting animal that can give people hope. […]
Crispy shrunken sheets from the laundry Scattered pillows spotted with tear drops Hidden streaming tears cutting the face The cramped leg and full bladder at odds To move, move on in a disconnected world It’s a cold, cold bed A time for rest is a myth Rest can […]
I may be a little late to this particular viewing party. However, better late than never. I had seen clips here and there for Disney’s latest fanily animated film. I hadn’t been enticed. I also didn’t think my 13 year old son would like the film. Thus, I […]

I tend to go to sleep late at night. Often the earliest I will head to bed is around midnight. I think I get a weird case of FOMO (fear of missing out) I go to sleep early. That makes absolutely no sense since there’s really not anything […]
I have very curly hair. Extremely curly. But, many people who have met me in the last few years, wouldn’t know about my curly nature. I do the keratin treatment and blow out my hair. I think the last time I wore my hair curly was in 2017. […]
Pain in sorrow Sadness in pain Bite to my joy Joy in bitterness Bucking the trend Trending the doom Sorrow is prickly Laughter is tinged Find a horizon Blink till it comes into focus Sigh Exhale Inhale Pinpoint the dagger Bandage up the wound There’s pain in sorrow […]
When you get work calls starting at 6am, the rest of the day is bound to be a blur. Yes, indeed. One thought runs into another. One meeting collides with another. One text too many comes from all directions. And, don’t even think about potty break. Also, forget […]
