Goodbye to All That. Didion does it again. She was 29. I remember when I first visited New York City, I stepped out of the bus onto the curb outside Bryant park and looked up. The lights lit, the city grit, this was it. I turned around and said to my mother, “I want to […]
Every year around this time, I, as I’m sure many of you, reflect on the year that’s gone by – the good, bad, ugly, and undoubtedly amazing! This year has been special for one too many reasons. As fluid as it’s been, I have more than solid reason to say it has, by far, been […]
Are you there, living and breathing, right in this moment, are you there, here, present… I’m not a big believer in horoscopes, and not too knowledgeable about astrology.

Chaos Theorist. Why did these words resonate with me? Was it because lately, I’ve come to be more and more comfortable with chaos? Almost to a point where I need to be in constant motion – as a way of life. I’ve been thinking deeper into the origins of my thoughts, my ideas – of myself, […]
Often after a long day at work, on my subway ride back home, I drift into a series of contemplative thoughts.
