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.
As someone who has wanderlust I hope to instill a worldview in my son’s young consciousness. He is only five years old but he has already developed a taste for travel. He especially likes staying in hotels; due in part to the fact that he is very well […]
Daily Prompt: The MET obstacle course in the day to day workplace rat race Every Monday starts off with grand goals shining brightly. Well, except for those that hate Mondays. Mind you, Mondays get a bad rap. Wednesdays are by far way worse. Anyway, Mondays are officially the […]
