I felt a devastating familiarity, hearing about the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida yesterday. These tragedies have become all too common in our current world. Las Vegas, Orlando, Sandy Hook, San Bernadino, Manchester. It seems like every couple months, the list keeps getting longer and longer. It’s sickening. The prayers we pleadContinue reading The Go-Between’ers
Tied Up with String
🎵🎵🎵…These are a few of my favorite things. 🎵🎵🎵 So this is now the sixth attempt at a post. My writer’s block is in full swing – perhaps because my creative mind is across the world in India, dancing in a hot pink sari with elephants at the wedding-of-the-century I’m supposed to be attending rightContinue reading Tied Up with String
Zesty Rainbow Ribbon Salad
Thanks, everyone, for your kind words about my would-have-been trip to India. Obviously, the food situation with my Ulcerative Colitis was one of the factors in my decision not to go. But just because I have to follow this therapeutic Specific Carb Diet doesn’t mean I don’t eat delicious food on the reg. Case inContinue reading Zesty Rainbow Ribbon Salad

And to top itContinue reading True Life: Online Bullying

When I was out at Sundance last week, we ate some pretty delicious food. And one night, whileContinue reading Hearty Vegetable Soup
The Grammys Headline You DIDN’T Hear
Well, the Grammys were last night. And in true entertainment industry fashion, the stars just couldn’t help themselves from turning a would-be artistic celebration into a political drag fest, complete with roses, resistance letters, jabs and mockery. Not to be out-shined by the Golden Globes, the music industry wanted to flex their political muscle, andContinue reading The Grammys Headline You DIDN’T Hear
I Grew Up This Week
I grew up this week. There are few moments in life that change you. That truly transform you. Shake you into existence. Illuminate what is actually important in life and where your priorities should be. And this past week, I had my first real life altering experience. My mom had a stroke. I thought thatContinue reading I Grew Up This Week
