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.

I’m going to state it and stick with it. Christmas is almost here. Sure, it’s June. Not quite mid-june. We’ve got summer barbeques and vacations to still plan and enjoy. We got new sandals and dresses to try out. We still have father’s day and independence day to […]

I’m a Taurus. I tend to be stubborn and I also have a great memory. And I hold onto grievances. Rather. I move on but my back pocket has some memos. Many moons ago, I had a work colleague that was a bit unstable. And, I’m being […]
