Style intrigues me. It always has. As a girl who was born in the 80s, grew up in the 90s, and really came into her own in the 2000s, I've seen a lot of styles come and go...and sometimes come around again. I wore neon and scrunchies. I tight-rolled my jeans. I rocked the overalls … Continue reading On style choices….

On seeing love everywhere….
Valentines Day. Admittedly, I used to hate it. HATE. IT. I was the girl that wore black on February 14th and was generally unpleasant to be around. I can't even tell you why I hated it. I just did. I probably hated it because someone else in my life did and I thought it was … Continue reading On seeing love everywhere….
On celebrating life’s cupcakes….
"Nobody notices the bridge that doesn't fall down." My dad, in all his infinite wisdom, said that the other day. It stems from a conversation he had with another person regarding choosing to see the good in life. As humans, we're pretty notorious for only noticing the bad and the ugly. Just looking at the … Continue reading On celebrating life’s cupcakes….
On finding peace in the mundane….
I'm a creature of habit and routine. Nothing about that statement should really surprise anyone. I've been that way for as long as I can remember. There's very little in my day that goes differently from one to the next. I get up at the same time, do the same things, drink the same coffee, … Continue reading On finding peace in the mundane….
On bearing the scars….
"No one cares about the hero until the hero has a crisis to overcome...that's when the story begins."Someone from my distant past said that to me several weeks ago and it's caused me great pause in my own life, reflecting on what has happened in the last few months. I've experience the full breadth of … Continue reading On bearing the scars….
On preparing for what’s coming up….
I think there are plenty of lessons that can be learned when looking back on a year lived. It's natural (at least, I hope it is) to want to learn from our past and our mistakes and our accomplishments. For me, it's hard to define the things that I learn in a year (unless I've … Continue reading On preparing for what’s coming up….
On getting some answers….
I’m the type of person that always wants to be “in the know.” I love knowing about the newest restaurants or latest fashion, even the best beers. It’s part of why I read magazines like Vanity Fair and 5280. I just want to know what’s going on around me. Unfortunately, this can also sort of bite … Continue reading On getting some answers….
On living through art…
There is quite a bit of art in the world that I truly love. From friends photography to ancient sculptures, I'm kind of a sucker for art. There are two pieces that I've been in love with for a really long time. Water Lilies by Claude MonetandWinged Victory (Nike)I've loved Water Lilies for as long … Continue reading On living through art…
On hopes, rather than resolutions…
It's the time of year when many of us make resolutions to be better people in the new year. I've been known to make resolutions in the past...some have been attainable (eat at as few chain restaurants as possible, see a Broadway show, etc.) and others have been totally ridiculous (walk to Russia, etc.). 2012 … Continue reading On hopes, rather than resolutions…
On a year gone by….
This is usually about the time of year when I start to reminisce over the last twelve months and think about what I've done, where I've gone, things like this. To be sure, there were a lot of great things that happened this year. Todd got a wonderful new job doing something he's very passionate … Continue reading On a year gone by….
