As we blindly sift our way through the cornmaze that is life, we come across people who matter to us more than most. These people make us feel safe, they make us feel loved, they make us feel like we are important. They make us feel like we are a part of something sacred and... Continue Reading →
The Kind(ish) Clown
I am currently drinking mimosas like it's Easter brunch at the Sacramento Airport. So, without further ado, I put you in the hands of one of the most beautiful humans I know, inside & out- Erin Feiger...
Olympic-itis
I am currently 6 days deep into complete and total Olympic submersion. I've ignored phone calls, have barely seen the light of day, and have had my TV on 24/7 without logging into Hulu once. I have sat through two meetings while secretly watching events and have hidden in a stairwell during work numerous times... Continue Reading →
A Piece About Love
If you're under the age of 20 and think you've found "the one", the odds are you're probably wrong. I do, however, have a handful of friends from high school who would prove that theory terribly wrong. So it IS possible...just in a way that Narnia is possible. I also have friends who are over...

Me, My Selfie, & I
Someone once told me I'll never see myself the way other people do. Apparently what I look like is subjective. There isn't a mirror or a filter or selfie or a picture in which I'll ever see myself in the same light someone else does. So I can't help but wonder: what do I look... Continue Reading →
i’ll cry if i want to
Birthdays. Let's discuss them. We all have them. Today it's yours along with a bunch of other people you don't know. 19 million people, to be exact, unless you're a leap year kid. Tomorrow it'll be another handful of people and the beat goes on. Within your close circle of friends and family, it can... Continue Reading →
Boxing
Stereotypes exist for a reason. As a culture, we are obsessed with categorizing everything. We are walking, talking label makers. From beliefs to affiliations to race to politics, we all belong in a proverbial box. This box must be labeled so everyone knows exactly where to put it. The miscellaneous box creates chaos and confusion.... Continue Reading →
The Pledge
In addition to saying the Pledge of Allegiance every morning in school, which apparently they don't do now because a couple of atheists in MA decided two words forced religion & prayer on their children (another topic for later), I wish they would have had us recite a life mantra. It should have gone something... Continue Reading →
The Guilty Jury
I love people watching. Not in a creepy, single-white-female, I want your life, kind of way but for sheer entertainment purposes. I love watching couples bicker at grocery stores...anywhere really. I love watching people who think they are gonna miss their flight and I love watching people come home to loved ones who are waiting... Continue Reading →
Shades of Green
I'm not exactly sure when it happens, but there comes a point in your life when you look around and realize that everyone is merely human, including yourself. Your teachers, the guy making your sub the way you like it, Jenifer Lawrence, the dishwasher, your parents, the President, the woman dressed like a man who... Continue Reading →
