List 30 things that make you happy. There once was a gal in high heels,Who spun joy like spokes on her wheels.She’d scream to the skies,With no compromise,Then dance till she shattered all feels. Joy is the fire I fiercely chase,In pink my forever riotous grace.Give me magic, […]
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, […]
Here’s my Tuesday truth: my brain is soup. Not a bisque. Not even a nice gazpacho. Actually, I don’t like gazpacho. But that’s besides the point. Back to the point at hand. My brain on soup. Just lukewarm, slightly over-salted cognitive broth simmering under this June sun. It’s […]
Let me just say this real quick before my eyelids fully give up on this day and slide down my face like melted mascara: I am tired. Capital T. Italics. Possibly in another font entirely. I woke up today with a long to-do list and the resolve of […]
The other day I came across a meme. One of those bold beach signs with even bolder advice:“Don’t even think about looking backwards. You’re not going that way.” Okay, motivational sign. I see you. I get it. Forward motion. Eyes on the prize. Focus, future, yadda yadda. But […]
What are the most important things needed to live a good life? We all remember Maslow and his now-famous hierarchy of needs. Good ol’ Abe gave us that trusty triangle, reminding us that before we can become our fullest, most radiant selves, we must first be fed, housed, […]
Two years ago, I thought I was just planting some hydrangeas. Maybe adding a bit of curb appeal. Fast forward to now: I am a woman possessed. Not by demons (though that would make for a good Tuesday), but by creepers! No, not the kind that lurk in […]
Well, I finally did it. I caved and watched Inventing Anna, the Netflix miniseries about the fake German heiress who scammed New York’s social elite, financial institutions, and a few unfortunate souls trying to pay their rent. It’s one of those shows I sidestepped for years, like a […]
You ever get that look? That “Are you mad at me?” look. That “Why aren’t you responding to my third message in 30 seconds?” That “You’re being quiet and I don’t like it” energy? Yeah. That one. Well here’s the thing: I’m not being distant. I’m buffering. Like […]
The other night, I randomly dove into two very different shows. One called Four Seasons and the other Tuiskoms. Somehow, both ended up riding the same emotional wave with women, post-life hiccup, signing up for surfing lessons. Surfing? Not therapy. Not wine. Not screaming into a pillow. Surfing. […]
