I thought I’d write blog-posts more often. But then, I thought I’d do a lot of things. I mean, simply put, I thought I’d paint the bathroom (whose walls have been mostly rough, ugly plaster since we tore down the wallpaper two years ago). I definitely thought I’d have figured out how to stop eating […]
In an era where so many of us consume far far more than we create… here’s me creating at last. My writing is like my mind and my life is a mirror reflection of that; I’m obsessed with a million different things, from trying to master a pull up to speaking fluent French; Vipassana meditation […]
It’s really quite simple. (Which isn’t the same as easy, by the way.) The key to falling in love and not falling back out of it is this: Pay attention.

For Christmas, one of my brothers gifted me a small beautiful book called a Five Year Memory book. On each page is the date of every day of the month from January through December, with five mini sections in which you are meant to write one interesting memory from that date over the course of […]
Well 2015 was a bitch, no doubt! I’m so glad and relieved to be out of it and into a sparkling new one – I have a real good feeling about 2016! But, truth be told, that mean-ass year of 2015 made me grow in ways I never would have otherwise. It was the year […]
