Here I am– a bit late. Late on many things. I literally have to do my taxes tonight. March was a month of overwhelming joy. There is sort of no other way to describe it. I was overwhelmed at work. Overwhelmed with gratitude in my personal life. I spent time with family and beautiful peopleContinue reading “March 2024 Favorites”

Winter Lessons
Themes from today: 1. In a nutshell— what Marcus Aurelius said: “Comfort is the worst addiction.” 2. Miracles are everywhere. Truly. 3. “Change is the right danger to choose.” Erwin Raphael McManus 4. If the ending ain’t good, you haven’t reached the end yet. There is so much more than what meets the eye.
The Eyebrow Spa
By: Gabriela Yareliz Ms. Shah is a pro— or so I heard. She had on spa music that matches my favorite massage place, and her storefront business was packed. “That music is the secret to keeping everyone calm while they wait,” Ms. Shah said laughing. I had wandered over to Ms. Shah’s eyebrow spa becauseContinue reading “The Eyebrow Spa”

If you haven’t watched the historic interview, you must. Watch it here. Incredible to see sincere, heartfelt journalism in action. Hard questions with fascinating answers. It was a reminder of how much can be reached and achieved in communication.
January 2024 Favorites

I realized that one of the most important things we decide is what something means to us. It frames everything, including our emotions. IContinue reading “January 2024 Favorites”

Scrapbooking In My Brain
By: Gabriela Yareliz Just had a blast from the past collecting some olds writings that pre-date this blog. I saw old comments, old posts, old photos, people from the past, people who made it to the present. I saw my old journal entries. I got a little emotional. I won’t lie. There I was, bareContinue reading “Scrapbooking In My Brain”
November 2023 Favorites
This was a month that brought some magic. This month, I met one of my favorite writers and some pretty incredible women. I spent time in Manhattan, which I always love. I saw the homage to Matthew Perry at the Friend’s building. Speaking only for the city, we voted in the same criminals into publicContinue reading “November 2023 Favorites”
