I am a bit bummed out. I love the holiday season. I get to celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas. I get to gift people things that I feel suit them. I think through my gifting. I search high and low to match gifts. I take great pleasure in […]
I love ttqvel. I love immersinh myself within new norms. I love eating new foods. Travel is learning, catharsis and a precious gift. Not everyone can do it or do it often. Which is why certain television shows are so important. I was rewatching one of Anthony Bourdain’s […]
She stared at the photograph which was not remarkable in any way. Yet, she was transfixed. She stared and remembered. Memories were stirred and an ache formed in her chest. The photograph was of a lonely street she had walked a few years back when travel was readily […]
A day of gratitude. A day of saying thank you. A day of acknowledging the blessings one has in life. It’s also a day of football, turkey, a big parade, and movies. It’s a smash up of different cultures reveling in different fun activities and maybe breaking bread. […]
