Mercy. And no I’m not goin all Uncle Jesse on you. 🙂 And I’m not referring to various hospitals around the country, either. I’m talking about the Year of Mercy. It doesn’t matter if you’re Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, a “none,” or someone just searching for hope and goodness in the world…I think we can allContinue reading Mercy
Resolution RealTalk
It’s hard to believe, but the Christmas season is officially behind us. Come this time tomorrow, we will be ringing in 2016. 2016. I mean, jeezel petes. Where did time go? Whether we like it or not, the time is upon us to set new years resolutions. I think the number one resolution in America is to shed the holiday weight. Which,Continue reading Resolution RealTalk

Here I Am
So I’ve been watching rewatching The OC recently. That’s right. No shame here. I love it. All of it. Even the fourth season that literally limped along for 16ish pathetic episodes until the writers, in essence, gave up on the show. (Hello, Ryan’s dad?? WTFuudge mate?) ANYWHO. I digress. The episode I watched last night was the one whereContinue reading Here I Am
Finally Home, At Home
It appears that time has escaped me, yet again. Between work and social engagements, I’m left with mere hours to plan, prepare, and purchase gifts for my family and friends. Nothing like a little holiday scramble to really get you in the Christmas spirit. That and an overpriced plane ticket. I just booked my flight home forContinue reading Finally Home, At Home
Two Teens, Two Realities
Ahh, Facebook, you double-edged sword, you. When you’re in your twenties, there comes a time when you log onto “The Book” and it’s like, overnight, every single one of your friends has gotten engaged. Scroll through your newsfeed, and it’s engagement photo after engagement photo, or better yet….babies. Well, needless to say, it’s happening. And I’m overContinue reading Two Teens, Two Realities
Fa La La
Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. I mean, if I could permanently decorate my life with white twinkle lights, I would. But I love it all: the decorations, the snow, the food, the music, the overly sappy Folgers commercials, the winter wardrobe, even Hallmark movies with their mawkish charm. I love it. all. But this year, aside from the fact that it’sContinue reading Fa La La
The B Word
Ahh, it’s that time of year again. And no, I’m not talking about mistletoe. Or eggnog. Or oversized sweaters with Uggs. I’m talking… The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Yes, friends. The time is upon us. In case you haven’t heard, this Tuesday, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is coming to us live – err, pre-recordedContinue reading The B Word
Deep Water
Ever feel like your life is a broken record? Like there’s something that you just. can’t. break free from? Just can’t quit or fix or resolve? How many times have you gone to bed and thought, “Well, I’ll try again tomorrow.” Ask anyone who’s breathing and they can relate. “Go out into deep water and letContinue reading Deep Water
Are You Tired?
“Are you tired?” Isn’t that the worst thing someone can say to you? “Wow, you look tired..” Thaaaaanks. Seriously though, I feel like, especially in NYC, people are just TIRED. All the time. How you doing? Ugh, long day. How’s life? Exhausting. Sound familiar? But there are really two kinds of tired. There’s body tired. Which, anyone who hasContinue reading Are You Tired?
