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.
The other day I was shopping. Well, that could have been any day, really. I was at this store. Now that is odd for me since I mostly shop online now. I must say while I love shopping on Amazon, there was something cool about shopping in […]
During the holidays you try to get past the moments of craziness of the year so that you can focus on the beauty of the now. This year feels like it has been an especially tough one. Although, if I think about my own personal day […]
My son’s big day is here. It is Chrismukkah! (Is there an emoji for that?) My son has been counting down for weeks now. And he is beyond ecstatic. Besides being happy to get his gifts, he also reminded us that Christmas is about family and […]

When I was a kid, one of my nicknames besides Mimi was “chatterbox”. I talked and talked. I was an only child until the age of nine. I was used to being the center of attention and to just talking up a storm just about anything. I read […]
Oh, where to land now Another place tomorrow Pedaling quickly I am not a bike rider. And that is perhaps one of my biggest understatements ever. Maybe. I believe I have already shared how I also hate spinning. I don’t get it. I also do not like […]
I never thought that this day would come. For eight years now, I hug my little boy each day and call him my baby. For he will always be my baby. That is what he has promised me in the past. Just this week, Facebook showed me […]
