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.
Most assuredly, there are times at the end of the day where you wonder where the day went. Then you do a quick review of your day and you want to smack yourself. Maybe. Probably. You look back and you look forward. You flash forward. What do you […]
It’s all been written before It’ll be written again There’s always been a list Thousands, in fact But we’ve all written that list And, it’s flipside We’ve tried to square away the reasons We’ve tried to work into the list We’ve tried to walk out from the list […]
Sometimes when I introduce myself, I don’t state I’m a psychologist by training. I have strayed far from the academia realm. Happily. Intentionally.
