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.
Brain fog is a real thing. Drives me crazy that there are moments in which my brain zaps out. It’s not something I’ve ever really experienced. But these days, I find myself lost in space. I’ll look out the window or at a wall for a split second. […]
We’ve all seen the Hallmark cards, the roses lined up in stores, and the overcrowded restaurants. Valentine’s day is a commercialized (some would say) day to celebrate love. I, personally, have never really felt a grand need to go to a fancy restaurant for Valentine’s day. At times, […]
Today, I am going to be random. Look, my phone stopped working, letting me know that I was on “no network.” Ok. So be it. I hunkered down and streamed Hulu show. I’ll share a secret with you, though. I love gummy bears. Particularly at night. I know […]
There are many ghosts in my life. Not the television or movie ghosts. Sadly, many dear ones have passed. And, there are also regrets. Even though we tell ourselves we don’t want to live with regrets. We all have them. The worst part of realizing that there are […]
Palms rise to the universe as we moonshine and mollyFeel the warmth, we’ll never die, we’re like diamonds in the skyYou’re a shooting 6 see, a vision of ecstasy It’s been a long day here. Cleaning out storage space, filling up bins for pickup. Finding long-forgotten gems. Telling […]

Let me cut to the chase. The year 2023 has sucked horribly thus far. And, we’re only in February. To lose a spouse mid-January and to then contend with the proverbial death by a 1,000 cuts has been frustrating, demoralizing, and depressing. Here’s a tip. If you are […]
She had a deep wound. A wound that hadn’t healed for 20 years. She didn’t allow that wound to fester and take hold of her life. She was even able to grow and ostensibly fertilize certain parts of her life. She had a fantastic tomato garden wherein she […]
I believe that by now, we all know that inflation has struck. My coke zeros have doubled in price. Eggs are astronomically high. Here, in New York, eggs are 10 dollars a carton. Wozers! Eggs got hit with a double-whammy: inflation and bird flu. And, now apparently, lasagna […]
Walking the dog down a suburban neighborhood. Late at night. Deep in contemplation. Before I could figure out what my body was doing, I jumped. I thought that perhaps I had come across a raccoon. Maybe a New York City rat who crossed the city limits. Maybe even […]
