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.
How do you feel about cold weather? I am a warm-blooded person. I need heat and warmth. However, please keep humidity away. My hair, most certainly, detests humidity. Waking up to 100-degree Florida summers, for example, is unbearable to the overall well-being of my hair. Which is why […]
Have you ever broken a bone? Whenever someone asks a question such as “Have you ever broken a bone,” I flinch. Why, you ask? Simple. The second I answer it, I feel like I’m jinxing myself. I’m a very superstitious person, and in answering “no” to such a […]
How do you balance work and home life? I used to scoff at the notion of work/life balance. If you like work well enough, it can become part of your life. There need not be a separation between life and work. Now, I’m not too sure I feel […]
What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today? I have several closets full of dresses and more dresses. A closet full of shoes and more shoes. A closet maxed out in blouses, shirts, and jeans. And, many of these are older than a decade. I just can’t follow that […]
I’m a bit of a night owl. I’m tired but wife aeake at 2am. And, what a night it has been. First off, we haven’t seen the resident groundhog. We are afraid that the fox ate him. Second, we heard a terrifying cry from an animal. I looked […]
Are you a leader or a follower? Unfortunately, I was born to be a leader. Don’t get me wrong, I am a good leader. Some might disagree. But for the most part, I have led, fairly, equitably, and strategically. I have a way of seeing the big picture […]
Much is still unwritten. Many words are listed in the various dictionaries. And, why do we need so many dictionaries? Aren’t words, words? New words are seemingly added each day. Words that were once forbidden – meaning they were not considered to be words such as ain’t, are […]
What’s one small improvement you can make in your life? This week was supposed to be one on which I could finally get some certainty and make decisions. Yet, the week continues to be one in which I continue to have a mounting set of problems and decisions […]
The dog woke me up at 7am and wanted a long walk. And, he was peppy. He did his business, sniffed the roses, and looked up at me with his brown/green eyes. I was going to take this to be his way of communicating “happy mother’s day” to […]
In chaos, there is calm. And, in calm, there are storms. Fire. It stirs the belly. A coloring book reminds one of a time when coloring within the lines was a cheered-on skill. We once felt good with such little tasks. Now, she knew this was a momentary […]
