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.
For decades now, I have traveled cross country multiple times, lugging boxes upon boxes of books. I’ve always been proud of my own personal library collection. Books were everything to me growing up. I loved being transported to these other worlds. As a kid, I even wrote my […]
I used to be punctual. Always on time. I still pretty much am. However, I’ve slipped behind here and there. What’s worse is that I have come to accept that as tolerable irtitating trait in others. I used to have a schedule. I had my words laid out. […]
You once told me a lie And then you said you’d share the truth I tabled it asking for a raincheck The time had not been right I’m calling in the chip Tell me a new story Make me believe in fairy tales Let me meet the fairy […]
Hubris. There’s a lot of that going around these days. This decade. Humblebragging has become a funny bit in social and professional circles. You know what is lacking, though? Teachability. Just because someone can “google” they may believe they have done their research and are experts at X,Y, […]

My first day at boarding school was an interesting one. It was all foreign for me. I was quite bewildered. Then my roommate came in with her twin sister. They were loud, giggling and hugging each other. One sister was attending my same boarding school and another was […]
I love the holidays. I’m lucky that in our household we celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas. It’s Chrismakkah. It’s lovely, nice, and reaffirming. I’m all in. Yet, this year I started shopping early because I’m over the idea of shopping in covid times. Masking up. I’ll willingly do […]
