A while back (long while back) I wrote about my thoughts on being. Simply being for the sake of being. It’s been a little while since that post, and since the last one I posted, I have certainly had quite a ride. I moved to Chicago and moved back to NYC. Guess nothing really isContinue reading “On Purposelessness”

2021 Intentions Revisited
I have not written in a little bit of a while – mainly because life has been a whirlwind and I am still in the process of processing things. (Isn’t that something? The process of processing?) I’m reaching the end of my (goodbye til next year?) stay in NYC and sitting in my empty apartmentContinue reading “2021 Intentions Revisited”

I baked before it was cool!) During the lockdown, I had my own baking escapades – banana bread, whiteContinue reading “My Sourdough Pet”
Envy
From a young age, I remember learning that I should not feel envious. My Catholic upbringing filled me with deep fear of purgatory and the promise of hell for being so sinful as to feel envious. My parents instilled in me that I was a terrible child for being jealous and that I should neverContinue reading “Envy”
Beauty in the Scaffolding
I thought that living in NYC would be as glamorous as it is on Sex and the City. Who doesn’t want to look stunning, spend a night dressed in designer heels at an upscale bar adorned with elegant decor, followed by a morning with friends and martinis? Sign me up! The reality is that NYCContinue reading “Beauty in the Scaffolding”
