This morning, as I watched the leaves fall in my backyard, I was hit with a familiar feeling—the quiet passing of time. It’s funny how the changing of the seasons always brings that reminder, as if nature is nudging us to pause and take stock. Just this week, […]
What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to? For years, I’ve toyed with the idea of taking that big leap—starting my own business or writing a book (or two). I’ve got business names scribbled down, websites reserved, and rough business plans saved […]
What are you most proud of in your life? In a job interview a long time ago, I was asked a question that tends to invite the cheesier side of life: “What are you most proud of?” The first thing that came to mind, without hesitation, was being […]
It’s been a few days since I last sat down to write. My grand intention was to craft something thoughtful and profound, but instead, I’ve been falling asleep way too early, face down on my couch, remote in hand. Honestly, I can’t tell if it’s from exhaustion or […]
So, there I was on a Saturday morning, tissues in one hand, laptop in the other, working while sneezing up a storm. My allergies have decided to make my life their personal playground—thanks to this unpredictable weather. One day it’s sweater weather, the next it’s 70 degrees, and […]

It’s funny how a simple scroll through Facebook can take you down a rabbit hole, tugging at your heartstrings and bringing back bittersweet memories. Today, I stumbled upon an old friend’s page—she’s been gone for five years, but her profile is still there, quietly holding on to fragments […]
First off—I made it! I finally got away on a trip this year, and let me tell you, it was glorious. Barbados greeted me with all the heat my warmth-craving soul could ask for. Bonus: no hurricanes in sight! Typically, I’m the queen of travel snafus, but this […]
Twice this week, I heard Frank Sinatra’s “My Way.” And each time, without fail, I had to stop, sing, and half tear up. This song doesn’t just hit me—it cuts deep into my core. As a New Yorker, especially as a girl who grew up poor in the […]
