Today, I treated myself to a city sampler platter of joy. A little culture. A little culinary delight. A little walking-off-the-week energy. And here’s the kicker. It was all done with barely any crowd-dodging or line-weaving. Score. First stop: an off-Broadway play.You know the kind. Small theater. Big […]
What do you think gets better with age? “What gets better with age?” you asked, all innocent and philosophical, like it wasn’t about to send me into a spiral of self-reflection and wine envy. The obvious answer, of course, is wine. Red wine, to be precise. That elegant, […]
What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life? You haven’t truly lived in New York City until a local train you’re riding suddenly goes rogue and decides, mid-ride, to become express. No announcement. No warning. Just BAM! like Emeril seasoning your morning commute with […]
Once upon a time, before our thumbs became our primary literary tools and autocorrect turned “love” into “live” and “duck” into something far more aggressive, we wrote letters. With pens. On actual paper. And we meant it. I used to love writing letters. I still do, in theory. […]
You ever walk through soup? Not metaphorically. I mean real, breathable soup. That was me today on my way home. Dragging my legs like they were filled with lead and regret through the thickest, heaviest air this side of a pressure cooker. The kind of air that slaps […]
Sometimes you rewatch a show not because you forgot what happened, but because you remember exactly how it made you feel. Enter The Night Manager. One of my absolute favorite shows. So good it’s basically therapy wrapped in espionage with a tuxedo and a silencer. Yes, I’m rewatching […]
It starts the same way every time.I’m sitting on the couch, my throne, really perhaps sipping lukewarm coffee or pretending I don’t hear the email pings stacking up. And then it happens: The Barkening. One dog starts. The others join in. It’s a synchronized scream session worthy of […]
Today, I’m offering some life’s little news bites that oddly feel like therapy prompts. Summer’s here, the city’s sweaty, and even the news feels like it’s melting into metaphors. This week, while sipping my ever hot coffee (since I stubbornly don’t do iced coffee) and contemplating whether I’m […]
Some days, you’re the dog wagging your tail, just vibing in the sun. Other days, you hear the barking. Oh, the barking. It’s constant. It’s performative. It’s echoing in the hallway, bouncing off cubicle walls, seeping through email threads and Slack messages. > “We should totally revamp this […]
This morning, I locked eyes with my dog mid-coffee sip, and I swear he tilted his head and judged me. Not in a cute “aw you’re my human” way. No. It was more of a “hmm…interesting choices you’re making for yourself lately” kind of tilt. And I’ll be […]
