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.
I am of the belief that when it is someone’s birthday, you have to also congratulate their mother. It is a belief I learned many, many years ago and it’s been ingrained into my DNA. My birthday is in grand part a celebration of my mother’s love and […]
I hate arriving early to meetings. I just hate it. I detest it, as a matter of fact. Yet, I do it consistently without fail. Do you know how horrible it is to arrive early to meeting after meeting? Sure, I can pat myself on the back and […]
