You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like? Lately, I’ve been watching architectural shows the way some people watch cooking competitions. Wide-eyed. Slightly dramatic. Fully aware that I do not, in fact, have Michelin-star money or, in my case, Oshatz or Aires […]
When are you most happy? I’m most happy in moments that don’t look impressive on paper. Not the kind of happy that requires a caption or a filter or proof.The kind that just happens. Quietly. Reliably. Like muscle memory. I’m most happy making pancakes for my son at […]
What was the last thing you did for play or fun? People ask this question as if fun is a single event. A checkbox.A laminated memory card you pull out on demand. “What’s the last thing you did for fun?” Listen.It’s not like I did one thing. I […]
Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? If you had asked me a year ago what my life would look like right now, I would have confidently handed you a glossy, well-organized mental brochure.There would have been flow.There would have been ease.There would have been […]

What is something others do that sparks your admiration? I’ll admit something mildly scandalous (in the psychological sense, not the TMZ sense). I am deeply, profoundly envious of people who are oblivious. Yes, the blissfully unbothered, the cheerfully unaware, the folks who stroll through life as if chaos […]
Do you ever see wild animals? Some days the universe sends you profound wisdom. Other days it sends you a photo of a gorilla mid–high kick, and honestly? Same level of healing. I recently came across an image that stopped me mid-scroll (a rare feat these days). A […]
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year? This past year wasn’t exactly sprinkled with fairy dust or wrapped in a giant red bow. It was more like one of those surprise grab bags where you reach in hoping for chocolate and instead […]
What could you do less of? It’s the holidays, and let me be clear. I love the holidays. Gift-giving is my love language, my cardio, my seasonal sport. I’ll binge Hallmark movies like they’re intellectual cinema, even though I’m not exactly a “hug it out” kind of gal. […]
