Walking the Talk
I had a pretty unforgettable experience the other day. It was a Friday afternoon. I had a free hour or so, which hardly ever happens, and so I thought I’d go to evening mass. And I decided to go to a church I had never been to before in midtown NYC. Like I mentioned previously…I’mContinue reading Walking the Talk
Where are the Young People?
Since being back in NYC, for the last week and a half, I have gone to a different church every day for Daily Mass. And as much as I wish I could say I was 100% going for faith and spiritual purposes, I would be lying if I didn’t say that 62% of my reasonContinue reading Where are the Young People?

Getting Specific — & Sharing My Food Blog! 😱
In the last seven days, I will have been on four different airplanes. Yep. Two trips between Ohio and NYC. Three shoots. One important audition. And all in the same week. Back about, ten months ago, when my mom had her stroke, I became quite the prayer aficionado. My prayer life was on fire. Admittedly,Continue reading Getting Specific — & Sharing My Food Blog! 😱
Living in Fear?
Jogging past the site of the Rental Truck Terror Attack on Halloween in Manhattan, I couldn’t help but shed a tear. The flowers, piled high in memorial of the lives lost just last week, offered a constant reminder of the horror that befell those innocent lives and their loved ones. Sadly, our country is notContinue reading Living in Fear?
The Season of Awareness
I think I’m going to call this season of my life, The Season of Awareness. Before I get into tonight’s post, I have to quickly mention a sponsor. It’s hard to believe that it’s almost time to start thinking about Christmas shopping. But, if you’re anything like me, I like to use Amazon to getContinue reading The Season of Awareness
Take A Selfie? #narcissism
So you know how Google is coming out with a new phone, and how they’re advertising it all over TV? (And no this isn’t an ad…) But their main selling point is twofold: First, that there’s unlimited photo storage, and secondly, that it can take a “selfie” through voice recognition, simply by saying, “Take aContinue reading Take A Selfie? #narcissism
Living Intentionally
I feel like I should be writing this from an antique plush velvet lounge couch with a mink shawl draped luxuriously over my shoulders and a long cigarette holder from the 1920’s effortlessly dangling between my fingers, because people…I feel so stinkin’ cultured after this weekend. Just call me Holly Golightly. But before I get intoContinue reading Living Intentionally
Beautiful Things
Allow me to set the stage here. Paint you a picture so you can catch a glimpse of how big of a dork I am. It’s a Wednesday evening. 6:30, and I’m in my little NYC kitchen, making a big, beautiful salad. I was super jazzed because I had bought some ~fancy~ ingredients to reallyContinue reading Beautiful Things
