Of internal monologues & the stories you don’t want to hear
Y’all, I’d be lying if I said things haven’t been really dark lately. It’s not so much the “I can’t make myself get out of bed” kind of dark. It’s more the “Well, well, well, look who’s failing again”...

Of dead circus performers and overly sappy heroines: Review of “The Immortal...
I thought I’d mix things up a bit & review the latest book I finished. Be warned – there will probably be spoilers. The premise had a lot of promise as a murder mystery nestled into a supernatural...

Of the choices we make and the consequences they bring
Be warned: This entry is heavy. If you’re not having a good day, I’d skip this one. Facebook is both a strange and sad animal. As happens when we get nostalgic, I was tagged in a Homecoming picture...

Of years and reviewing them
Sorry I’ve been off the radar, fair readers. Nothing has blown up & no one has died. I just didn’t really have much to say. Here’s my obligatory round up of 2014. I won’t go so far as to say it was...

Of fathers and the advice they offer
Lately when I’ve been talking to people, I’ve noticed a lot of “My dad told me…” or “He instilled in me…”. After almost losing him this year, I’ve taken what he’s taught me more to heart than ever....

Of wish lists and sequined outfits
One week from today is my 30th birthday. Instead of putting down New Year’s Resolutions, I’m simply putting my intentions out there for my 30th year. As a friend of mine put it after listing all the...

Of $90 yoga pants and the perfect thing for smart people who work out
Once again, my love / hate relationship with Facebook has resulted in love. I saw an add for ClassPass and was all “Hey! What’s this?”. It’s a genius idea is what it is. For $79 – $99 a month...

Of Backstreet Boys and crippling insecurity

Of rejection letters and next contestant please
Today is a “keep your chin up” sort of day. I know these are super First World Problems, but nonetheless: I was officially rejected from a job I interviewed for a few weeks ago. I can’t say it was a...
