It’s Monday. Again.But this one feels… oddly quiet. Suspiciously still. The kind of quiet where you wonder if you missed a memo. A mass text. A cosmic “Out of Office” notification. This past week, I’ve noticed something. Or rather, I’ve not noticed something.People. Where are they? The commuter […]
It’s Sunday afternoon and the world is… spinning. Or maybe it’s just the ceiling fan. Spinning slow, like it knows something I don’t. Each blade slicing the air with lazy indifference, casting shadowy little flickers on the wall like a low-budget film noir. It feels like I’m in […]
We’re living in the era of boundaries. Personal boundaries. Professional boundaries. Emotional, digital, energetic, gluten-free boundaries. Everywhere I turn, someone is gently (or not so gently) reminding me to “set healthy boundaries.” Boundaries are the new kale. Essential. Good for you. Sometimes hard to swallow. Actually, I severely […]
I did something wild recently. I treated myself (and dragged along the family) into a blazing pit of danger, peril, and foam blocks. Yes, I played The Floor is Lava. Now, let me confess something upfront: I have the coordination of a distracted toddler trying to walk on […]
There are days when your brain decides to clock out before your body does. Today was one of those days. I was exhausted. So bone-tired that I couldn’t tell the difference between highbrow, lowbrow, and absolutely no-brow TV. Enter: Trainwreck: The Poop Cruise. Yes. That is what I […]
Well folks, it’s not even July and the heat has already come in like a sweaty wrecking ball. That’s right Miley! The kind of heat that seeps into your bones and short-circuits your brainwaves. You know it’s bad when the street pigeons are panting and the corner bodega […]
Which slice of me will you get today? Will you catch the breeze or the blaze?Will I simmer or will I scorch?Will I laugh mid-sentence or pause long enough to make you squirm?I don’t always know myself which version will slip out first. Maybe today, I’m a little […]
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 […]
Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? The other day, I did something wild. At least, wild by grown-up, semi-caffeinated, city-living standards. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs. Not bucatini with veal ragu. Not handmade tagliatelle with a saffron foam. Just good ol’ spaghetti. Red […]
There are days when life delivers its deep truths in sweeping metaphors, sunsets, and perfectly timed inspirational quotes. And then there are days like today when the deepest truths come straight from the Dog Couch. You know, that fur-covered, snack-stained kingdom ruled by my three wildly different but […]
