I don’t do New Years Resolutions. They are overrated. The calendar turning from December 31st to January 1st isn’t magical. You are still the same person you were yesterday, and the day before that. You’ll still be the same person tomorrow. My long-suffering former shrink once told me “Wherever you go, there you are”. And that’s true whether that move… Read more »
As 2017 finally draws to a close there are all kinds of lists of both the best of and the worst of 2017. Next week I will be sharing a list of some good things that came out of this dumpster fire of a year, but this week I’m listing the top 5 things I am hoping and praying we… Read more »
During the 2016 Presidential campaign one of Trump’s many empty promises was that he was going to have Hillary Clinton jailed. “Lock her up” was a popular chant at rallies. Trump did a 180 almost immediately after the election and stated he had no intention of doing anything of the sort. In fact, he stated he respected the Clintons! Alas,… Read more »
The rise of social media has gone hand in hand with the rise in tons of health and wellness related information- and misinformation- available everywhere. It can be very difficult to know what’s based on science and what isn’t. You might be asking why you should listen to me instead of someone who makes their living teaching this. First off,… Read more »
Unless you have been living under a rock you’ve seen a lot of women (and a few men) posting “Me too” on social media. Some folks include an explanation why (to bring awareness to sexual harassment) and some don’t. But I haven’t participated and have no intention of doing so. I’m certainly not anti- woman. I AM a woman. I’m… Read more »
I love the fall season. I love football. I love the cooler temperatures. I love clothes that cover my entire legs (so I don’t have to shave them so often). I think pumpkins look nice. They are festive and they are fun to use for decoration. They are an iconic representative of the season and I have nothing against them…. Read more »
The time for sugar-coating is over. In light of recent events its high time to just come out and say it- President Donald Trump has no idea what he is doing and the entire world could pay for it. Now to be clear, I am not blaming the folks who voted for Trump for his inability to be a President…. Read more »

Those words don’t bother me too much, but, like everyone else, I do have my own set of words that make me want to shove pencils and/ or knitting needles into my ears. Here are my top 5 in no particular order: #5 Secrete…. Read more »
As luck would have it, today is World Environment Day, which melds perfectly with what’s on my mind, which is President Trump’s announcement that he wishes to pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement. I say “wishes to” because it turns out it’s a little more complicated than just saying “I want out”- something Trump himself appears to be completely… Read more »
I consider myself a modern woman. I’ve worked full-time since I was 22 years old. I have a Bachelor’s degree (in Biology). I have travelled alone and will continue to do so from time to time. I am childless by choice. My husband is my partner and I am his- we are equals in our relationship. I have money and… Read more »
