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 tool a deep breath, downed a double-espresso shot, and turned in my dissertation. I was near being done with a major chapter in my life. It was the beginning of the end and the beginning of a new beginning. I […]
How many times have politicians been accused of being flip-floppers and how much flack did President Obama get when he said he had “evolved” on certain policies? The media excoriates those that change political positions. And in certain instances, such excoriation is warranted, considering the obvious political […]
