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.
Every year, I come up with a word in December to capture the new upcoming year. Some years, my word is spot on. Other years, not so much. For this current year, the word I had selected back in December was “adventurer.” Then life deflated my adventure ballon. […]
When do you feel most productive? This morning, the day before my birthday, I woke up at 6:35am. Not atypical of me, by the way. I went downstairs, made coffee, and drank a red bull. Then, I decided to garden for two hours. Well, gardening is a strong […]
The month of may is almost here, and usually, I’m very excited about this upcoming month. As the month of May is my birthday month. But it’s been a tough year thus far. There’s thunder and lightning today, and the day is dreary. Tomorrow promises no less dreariness. […]

In my head, I softly apologized I asked for forgiveness hoping to clear my mind But because the words are unsaid There is no response Apologizing into the air is sadness I’m now hungry, tired, and alone Forgiveness living in my synapses Waiting for the weight to be […]
What makes you nervous? Just last week, a medical provider came into the exam room and grabbed my hands. He asked me whether I was nervous as I appeared to be. I looked at him and noted, I was not necessarily nervous about the actual biopsy. Instead, I […]
How do you unwind after a demanding day? I can’t remember the last time I didn’t have a demanding day. Work, plus, medical appointments, plus taking care of the house tend to wear me down. I actually started to write this post at 3 am, and then I […]
