Live Loud

I was listening to the radio when I heard the lyrics "When is the last time you did something for the first time?"  And just to be clear, yes, I still listen to the radio.  It's one of the old school things I cling onto.  I also mail handwritten thank you notes,  listen to cassette...

the way way back

Blasts from the past.  There really is now way of avoiding it when you meet up with old friends, which is what I did the other day.  Names came up that I haven't thought about in years.  Old roommates, apartments, past relationships and jobs - you name it, we talked about it.  It seemed like...

Invisible

Everyone wants attention.  I don't care what you say.  You may not want the spotlight on the daily but you definitely crave some sort of light.  Humans actually fall into a funk when withdrawn from light for long periods of time.  It's called seasonal depression and it's a very real thing.  As much as I...

Reach For It

It's hard to tell yourself to reach for the stars when you throw out your back reaching for the paprika.  This is a true story folks.  I simply reached for a spice and everything changed.  I swear I'm an avatar and someone out there is getting a giant kick out of all of this.  If...

Bye Bye Bye

I have been told several times in the last few months that I need to clean out my closet.  Both literally and figuratively.  So now I do this thing where I open it, stare at it and then close it again.  'For another day' I tell myself.  That's basically my M.O. when it comes to...

Life in Retro

I don't know how any of you are doing but Mercury is in retrograde and whether you believe in that kind of stuff or not you gotta admit - things have been a little weird lately.  I don't even feel like half of the people I talk to these days have any idea what I'm... Continue Reading →

Sunny-side Up

Jesus died.  April Fool's.  Jesus was just kidding.  Pastels were worn around town like a Lily Pulitzer parade and 'egg recipes' has been the top google search of the week.  Good luck in that house.  Easter has come and gone.  It's April and before I know it I'll be 40 and I still haven't been...

The Vortex

In this great big universe, in this great big world, in this great big life, the people you meet and the adventures you lead must be noted.  What are the odds?  You have to believe in fate, even if it’s in the most miniscule way.  If not fate, then you have to admit there's something...

The Rundown

I fell yesterday.  Like a sad middle-aged lady all alone walking without an umbrella in the rain, I went down.  Hard.  It was a banana peel kind of fall.  I imagine it all happened in cartoon fashion.  Most people would probably get up real quick and be all embarrassed.  Nope.  Not this girl.  I just...

Microscopic

Each of us is bestowed with a gift.  We all have areas in our lives we excel in more than others.  If I had a superpower it would be observation.  As far as X-Men go, consider myself and Marvel gravely disappointed.  I notice things - whoopity doo, right?  Not exactly a box office hit.  It...
