I was thinking about all of the people I've ever met in this lifetime and it got me wondering what kind of impression I give. How do I make people feel? What kind of vibe do I emit? There is so much concern about which path to choose but I'm equally curious about the path... Continue Reading →
Battlefield
Our entire lives are dictated by which battles we choose. Each of us decides what is worth our time, what arguments are worth having, what people we want to hold on to, what type of love we deserve, when enough is enough and when the fight is crucial to the truth within ourselves...and that's not...

Seat Taken
There are people out there who don't like me. Crazy right? (Kidding) We all have our haters. I consider myself a fairly mature adult and there is still drama in my life and surrounding me that is comparable to kindergarten playground showdowns. Call me a fool, but I had some magical notion that people would... Continue Reading →
You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling
So apparently there was a march last weekend? Did you hear about it? No big deal, just 2.9 million Americans joined in the streets of over 650 cities across the country. Not to mention all of the people across the world who joined in unison from Tel Aviv to South Africa. Whether you supported it... Continue Reading →
’tis the season
The holidays are upon us! It might even be said I'm a little late to the game. I went to The Grove, an outdoor shopping center, in early October and with every step I thought - no, it can't be. Yet sure enough, the whole place looked like what Joy to the World sounds like:... Continue Reading →

We buy magazines because their face is on it, books because they wrote them, and products because they endorsed them. They made it. They can officially claim the term celebrity. And while I feel a bit of... Continue Reading →
Bring me that Horizon
I thought long and hard about what to focus on this week. And then I thought about it some more. And then I wrote a bunch of stuff I hated. And then I reread all of the things I didn't like thinking 'it couldn't have been THAT bad'. It was. Like garbage carcass crumbles bad. And... Continue Reading →
In good times…and in bad
If you're over the age of 20 and have any sort of a social life, the odds are you've spent a giant chunk of your money and time on your friends getting married. Since you've been to a wedding, you've likely heard the term 'in good times and in bad'. It is a vow couples... Continue Reading →
The Unofficial Superhero
Anytime any of my girlfriends have told me they are pregnant, there's always a split second of hesitance before my reaction because two thoughts cross my mind. The first one is OH MY GOODNESS, YOU'VE DECIDED TO MAKE A TINY HUMAN AND THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!!! The second one is HOLY S#%* YOU'RE SOMEBODY'S MOM... Continue Reading →
Defeating the Dark Side
If you asked me to, I could come up with several reasons to cry at any given moment. I'm a basically a walking teardrop with a personality. Life, as I'm sure you've discovered, isn't all giggles and vacation. It's more like Star Wars minus the light sabers and space travel. It's about survival and defeating the... Continue Reading →
