Who am I?
See that woman in the picture above? That’s me. I am a thirty-something, living in Philadelphia, muddling my way through life the best I can. I love my friends and family. I am passionate about history and politics. In a perfect world I would have a seat at the desk of Meet the Press but not being the perfect world, I spend lots of time searching for a soapbox to stand on. The last few years have been spent getting my life together. In that time I went from an overweight person whose life was in jeopardy to who I am now, someone who is 100 pounds lighter who obsesses over GMO food and HFCs. Don’t know what those are? Just google and let the horror begin.
Beyond the issues already mentioned, I am a pop culture junkie. My mind is so full of trivial facts that I can’t remember how to tie my shoes but am completely convinced that, if given the opportunity, I would clean up on Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
About this Site:
This is my personal website. It’s where I come to express myself on any matters of importance to me. All ideas and opinions are my own, unless indicated otherwise. My main focus is on food politics, health, and fitness but no topic is off limits.
Favorite Quotations:
“The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term is the indispensable pre-requisite for success”
Brian Tracy
“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge – myth is more potent than history – dreams are more powerful than facts – hope always triumphs over experience – laughter is the cure for grief – love is stronger than death”
Robert Fulghum
“One question: do you need… someone, or do you need me?… Forget it, I don’t really care.”
Lloyd Dobler
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
Albert Einstein
