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.
Growing up I was not that much into makeup. First, I had no dolls. I did not dress up any dolls. I did not put makeup on dolls. Second, I had seen so many women in my neighborhood growung up with potmarks on their faces that I attributed […]
I am a dog person. Always have been. They fill me with great joy and warmth. I just want to squeeze and roll my doggie over. Despite being a dog person I have had cats. Although, that was not wise at all considering my high level of allergies. […]
Life is filled with so much noise these days. Street noise. Alexa talking back. Music blaring while watching netflix and working on a strategic document. Dogs barking. Kids playing and crying.
