I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
The sky in Antigua this morning is giving big “I stayed up too late but I’m still showing up” energy. The sun is there, somewhere, trying to peek through the clouds like a shy celebrity avoiding the paparazzi. It’s that awkward moment between night’s gossip and day’s to-do […]
There’s something magical about watching my dogs operate as a pack. Not magical in the Disney-princess-singing-to-birds kind of way. It’s more like the “oh dear lord, the neighbors think we’ve lost it” kind of way. It usually starts with the middle one. He’s the ringleader. The union boss. […]
At night, I flick on my little red lamp. Not because I’m running a secret photography darkroom. Not because I’m signaling passing ships. And no, it’s not because I’ve suddenly decided to become the neighborhood’s “woman of intrigue.” It’s because that red glow does something to me. It […]
It’s Thursday night, and here I am parked on the couch, watching yet another random documentary about how love went sideways. You know the type: boy meets girl, girl meets boy, passion blooms, and then someone meets a shovel. And every time, I’m left asking the same thing: […]
Some Wednesdays stretch like hot taffy left on a dashboard. Sticky. Slightly regrettable. And somehow still oddly satisfying. It’s that time of week where the to-do list has morphed into a didn’t-do-it list, the iced coffee lost its chill hours ago, and your inbox has become a crime […]
Some say Mondays are the worst. But Tuesdays? Tuesdays are sneakier. They lull you into thinking the week has begun, that you’re already mid-stream… when really, you’re still paddling in circles with coffee that isn’t quite strong enough and eyelids that are on strike. Today, I am operating […]
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, […]
I sit in the stillness between two livesTwo windows, two eyes to the world.One looks forward with wanderlust pulsing,The other looks back with quiet knowing. The front window, a travelogue in fabric and light,Orange curtains parted like sunrises,Framing a blue seat, a launching padThe place I dream of […]
There are a few life truths I know for certain: coffee is sacred, people will absolutely not use their blinkers, and dog kisses are both a daily ritual and a divine mandate. Let me break it down from the dog couch. A sacred, slightly chewed-up, fur-blanketed arena where […]
Lately, I’ve been on a binge. Not of chocolate-covered espresso beans (though those were involved) but of music documentaries. You know, the kind that unwrap a legend’s life like a glittery, bruised onion: layer after emotional layer, until you’re left sniffling and singing along in your bathrobe. The […]
