the ups-and-downs and sides-to-sides of the little things that make up life
I deleted my twitter account a few weeks ago. Gasp, I know. I spent weeks deciding whether to really do it or not – the warning message says you can never reactivate or use your same username, unlike Facebook who lets you reactivate at anytime. It was scary, but I felt like it was a […]
I’ve been doing a lot of traveling and searching lately. With it, I figured it was time to make some additions to my list of 25 Random Things. Here goes nothing… I love flip flops. I love heels too, but I could wear flip flops every day of my life and be happy I dislike […]
I love my blog. Maybe that’s a little narcissistic to say, but I do. I won’t share the story of why or how I started it, but I love it nonetheless. Throughout the years, it has been a constant that has grown with me. It’s been my “twitter” of short posts before I knew what […]
For some reason, I love this song by Rob Thomas. Maybe because it references mockingbirds and that song holds a special place in my heart. Maybe because it has the ability to embody personal and professional trials. Here we stand Somewhere in between this moment and the end Will we bend? Or will we open […]
While I’m not convinced that “time heals all wounds,” I am convinced that time does help you overcome anything. This year, many anniversaries came, went and left me unscathed. Who knows, maybe a tiger really can change their stripes. And maybe, just maybe, good things continue to fall apart so GREAT things can fall together. […]
It’s short. It’s immediate. It’s all things I can do on my own… no “better half” needed, you know, just in case See the Northern Lights Visit London, Greece and Ireland Cross off a few more items on my sex list Visit the Warhol museum Spend my last days in St. Thomas on a beach, […]
I like to believe that life is a series of moments. I call them rides. People come into your life for a reason. And sometimes, as painful as it is, they also go. Sometimes, they come back, but not often. Matt came into my life to teach me about first loves. He also taught me […]
I’m always searching for answers. Maybe it’s the kid in me. When I was little, my mom used to say, “The answer machine is broken” after I had asked “why” too many times. Maybe it’s the writer/journalist in me. Maybe it’s a girl thing. Maybe it’s a me thing. Either way, I’ve always liked getting […]
I build a lot of walls. And sometimes, I let them down just enough to let someone in. Other times, I break them entirely. And sometimes, you build walls because you don’t believe in the “impossible.” But, what happens when the impossible becomes possible? What happens when you want something (or someone) so badly, that […]
This whole year, all I’ve done is turn a corner only to be dragged down into the abyss again. When will the rip tide let go? When is it my turn for things to go as planned or wanted? I hope it’s soon, because there’s only so long someone can fight a rip tide.
