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.
To dream of a past where groups danced and the band played on all night. She stared up at the ceiling and saw visions of wet sand and bongo drums. To dream. To dream. Oh she could taste the raspberry dreams. They were sweet, sticky, and sumptuous. She […]
I love New York City for many reasons. One of which is the ability to walk everywhere. And, at the moment, I am walking anywhere between 15,000 to 22,000 steps a day. Each day I’m walking to work and I’m loving walking to work. I listen to a […]
