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 […]

Cutting Ties
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 […]
Do You Ever Wander?
Yes wander, not wonder. When I was young (and free from my self-imposed inhibitions), my most favorite way to spend time was to wander off into the streets, seeking out the adventurous story I would spin in my mind. I would wander off down to the river, pretend I was stranded on undiscovered territory, surviving […]
5 Seconds
It’s all you have to live your life. There are days when words come bursting out of thoughts waiting to be put out there in the universe, and then there are days like today. I’m never really at a loss of words, most definitely not at a loss of thoughts – then again maybe I’m […]
The Power of Power

My Place
“I feel at home everywhere because I never really am home anywhere.” – Isamu Noguchi Now, more than ever, this sentiment holds true for me. I could have said these words, because that’s how much I feel them, live them. Just a few years ago I had a dream – to live in New York […]
Grateful
Every morning I wake up to this beyond beautiful view – sunrise, rays beaming onto the face of the earth, the clouds lined up with a different story to tell everyday, and the green, all that green 🙂 And every morning I think, “How lucky am I to be here” – to witness this, to […]
Should I Pick You Up?
No, this was not a question from a friend asking me if they could pick me up, say from home as we headed out, but from a deli owner asking me with a half evil smirk as I tried to reach the top shelf to get some kitchen paper. I don’t know what it is […]
A Simple Question
What is the one thing that if you could, you would want to do everyday, for the rest of your life? A simple question, or is it? A crucial answer. Although, how many of us can answer this with the blink of an eye? Then again, it is said, the feelings that are closest to […]
