Love You, Mean It

I am currently on a plane headed to the Midwest for Ann Arbor to celebrate my aunt and uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary.   Yes, that's them - how cute are they?  These two humans have chosen to stay together for 5 decades.  Kinda blows your mind a little bit doesn’t it?  I don’t think I like...

Survivors

I was secretly hoping I would never have to write this.  I've kept my story to myself.  I've read all the stories, I've witnessed the speeches, I've seen all the posts and spent countless hours scrolling through the comments like a fly on the wall.   I have stood in silence and relived my experience vicariously...

Dance & Eat Cake

I have been a writing maniac.  Between reading, writing, working and sleeping - the social butterfly you know and love has been laying pretty low.  I had every intention of executing a sober September.  It was wildly unsuccessful.  Apparently I was laying low like a lion ready to pounce.  Mufasa Syndrome.  But when adventure falls...

Where did the Good Go?

We have a knack, as a society, to focus on the bad.  I even catch myself doing it from time to time.  I tend to focus on the things I don't have, the things I'm not good at, the parts I don't love about my body and what I haven't accomplished yet.  Why am I... Continue Reading →

Stuck in a Moment

Oh.  My.  God.  If you haven't fully indulged in the musical masterpiece that is Celine Dion's It's All Coming Back to Me Now, stop what you're doing and watch the music video NOW.  You're Welcome.  Grab a snack - it's over 7 minutes long.  My friends and I rediscovered this song on a road-trip to...

Maternal Me

What do you want?  Question of my life.  I want to live in a castle but like one with good insulation and a giant library full of first editions and velvet couches.  I want old maps that hold secrets of treasures unknown.  I want a lazy river moat full of mermaids and waterfalls and potions...

Dark Hearts

I couldn’t decide what to write about this week so I asked my brother and sister for suggestions.  My first mistake.  These were the responses I got: “People who ruin their own insults with grammatical errors” “Urban Meyer” –  although very tempting, no. “Star Wars” “Blog about how cool nerds are” “Us” to which I...

Wander~ful

Not all who wander are lost. J.R.R. Tolkien I was told recently that in this lifetime I'm supposed to find my home.  To stay grounded and make roots.  If that is the case, I'm 100% failing at life.  My suitcase is always on standby.  I can't seem to stay put.  My life is a bit...

Is it Over Yet?

Hi, it's me, your friend the walking corpse.  I am going to say something that is going to make a lot of you mad.  I need a 3 month siesta.  I realize I spend a large portion of my life on vacation.  In my defense, they are all micro-vacations.  I need a giant chunk of... Continue Reading →

the last kiss

I had the absolute honor of standing by one of my best friends this past weekend as she said I DO to the man she met in a lazy river in Vegas.  Talk about finding love in a hopeless place.  The ceremony was almost as beautiful as the bride.  She was a total smokeshow.  It... Continue Reading →
