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.
Over a decade ago, I thought I would give gardening a try. Well, it was balcony gardening in Berkeley. Everyone in the Bay area is growing something there, if you get my drift. I didn’t fancy myself a gardener or envisioned myself having any type of green thumb. […]
What was she to believe? Her own eyes? Her own words? She kept going through the day over and over again. “Tell me the truth.” Was there a truth, she wondered. Apparently there are no realities. She had left home feeling ecstatic or so she was led to […]

I already know and have shared with you all that if a zombie apocalypse were to occur it would happen in the month of August. We have just a few more days left to see if it comes this year. Comets, weird elections, wildfires, floods are running rampant […]
I like to consider myself a pretty fashionable New Yorker who is hip and cool and is up to date on pop culture, as well as serious news. But the news is no fun these days. I have cool shoes and handbags and just revel in dressing […]
