While I have you behind the scenes, why not continue the tour, no? So much for a segue… After I graduated nutrition grad school, I spent a decent amount of time not only describing the role of a registered dietitian, but also explaining how my grad school, Teachers College, offered a master’s in nutrition.

Self-Publishing: A Behind-the-Scenes View
I have a love/hate relationship with marketing to my friends. I love my friends. And I hate marketing to them. I want to get the word out about this wellness newsletter as well as my latest book.

My Inner Receptionist
My prefrontal cortex is my receptionist. In making a to-do list in the morning, I lay out a reasonable plan for what I can do. If something comes up during the day that is not on that list, I jot it down for a different day, knowing that I already put in forethought to prioritizing … Continue reading My Inner Receptionist

Good Morning
This morning, I woke up after a full, uninterrupted night’s rest. It felt great. I’m glad I decided to not watch extra tv last night and listened to my body’s signals of near-exhaustion. When I awoke I was greeted by the sound of birdies. I love how they chatter so in the early morning. Mimicking … Continue reading Good Morning
Another Gift Mitch Hedberg Gave Us
Earlier this week, I did a Mitch Hedberg cover stand-up comedy performance. As I said in my previous post, I watched him early on in my journey of doing stand-up comedy nine years ago. A friend told me I sounded like him. I checked him out. Around that time a different friend told me I’d … Continue reading Another Gift Mitch Hedberg Gave Us
