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.
Who is your favorite historical figure? In trying to think of a favorite historical figure, I keep drawing a blank. Plenty of historical figures from which to pick. A favorite? What would make one a favorite? I know that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of my favorite […]
Write about your first crush. Crushes. Oh, how fun and also devastating they can be. I remember a slew of crushes when I was younger. Surprisingly, I don’t think I ever had a celebrity crush. At least, I can’t remember having one. Although, if you were to ask […]
What countries do you want to visit? This year was supposed to be a grand adventure. I had grand plans of hitting my 7th continent. I had grand plans of finally making it to Iceland and Malta. Instead, I’ve been busy going to several medical appointments each week. […]
What to make of random events and sightings? Shrug. Accept them. Give them meaning. Discount them. My mom believed everything had meaning. Everything was a symbol. For everything, there was a sign. I used to laugh at her propensity for uber-symbolism. However, I was steeped in it. And, […]
I love working out. I often begrudgingly wake up early to go work out. I either go for a 60-minute walk or 45 minutes on the elliptical. Once I’m working out, I get pumped and jazzed. Sometimes working out longer than originally intented. Why do I get so […]

Describe one of your favorite moments. Even in the dark times, there are bright moments. And in the brightly lit moments, there are brilliant moments. You just have to be aware enough to capture them. You also have to pocket those moments into your memory bank so that […]
What notable things happened today? To be notable is to stand out. Days that blend into each other often offer little that is notable. It could be that what was notable was that you got up from your chair at least ten times. As I look back on […]
This year has not been kind. It’s been one challenge, devastation, or roadblock after another. People widely remark on my strength. And, that I do have. However, everything takes a toll eventually. Unrelenting Unbelievable Unbearable Unfortunate Uneasy Unkind Uncertain Unmoored Untethered Unappealing But hopefully unbreakable
It seems that everywhere I turn, I’m confronting a lie. Misinformation. Masking of reality. Some people talk real fast to push through what is not true. Some spin a hundred and one stories to keep you from digging deeper. Let me tell you something. Just straightforward. We are […]
