I felt cranky when I was trying to go to bed last night and fireworks were erupting all over my neighborhood. I know what you’re thinking- Unpatriotic! Grump! No and yes. I did feel grumpy. I DO feel grumpy. Side note: I fucking love fireworks. I prefer them when I’m in a celebratory spirit, but… Continue reading Storm Clouds.

It’s funny, but I was hesitant before putting “pen to paper” with respect to the issue I’m about to dive into. The humor comes from the fact that generally, I feel free opening my mouth and letting my thoughts spill out. Yes, I consider myself to be a mindful human, but I am not usually… Continue reading Affirmative: We are headed in the wrong direction.

I had the privilege of volunteering at a local soup kitchen with my mother and father last weekend. It was everything you would hope the experience to be. The folks who were running the program were aspirational in their dedication and passion, and, incredibly nice. The location happened to be lovely, and we satisfyingly helped… Continue reading Stop Presuming. Please.

I follow Matty Maggiacomo on Instagram. Proudly. I love his Peloton classes and he is incredibly motivating and a generally adorable human. I do not say this in a crazy kind of way (though I did think this before) BUT I met him and when I say he’s adorable, I mean it. Inside and out.… Continue reading An Ally Forever More.

I took my 69-year-old mother to see The Little Mermaid this past weekend. As I am now 42, and she took me when the cartoon came out in 1989 (I was 9), this felt fitting. It has always been one of my favorite Disney movies. Always. When I was a child, I think I just… Continue reading The Little Mermaid That Could.

I attended Boston Calling this past weekend. It’s been years since I went to a music festival and I can honestly say, it’s as glorious as I remember. We lucked out as the stars aligned and the weather was perfect. As for logistics, the only stress point for my 40-something year old brain, every little… Continue reading Embrace It (Part I): Cellulite Is Having Its Moment.

I’ve been experiencing stiffness in my neck for weeks now. I’ve explored the various and sundry reasons why such a thing might occur (i.e., my pillow). After a good deal of thought and significant anxiety and a neck that seemed to be getting worse by the day, I concluded that it’s almost entirely stress related.… Continue reading Hot Stresses.

Hi there. I was speaking with someone near and dear to me the other morning. I felt tense because I had a lot on my mind. I am not great when I am tense. I am crabby and when I try and tamp down the crabbiness, I think maybe I’m just cold or aloof. I… Continue reading Hardly Mother Theresa.

I thought a lot today about staying in the moment and what that means. I am such an emotional being. I spend a lot of time in my head and a lot of time in my emotions. Hard. Unapologetically so. I’m careful with whom I confide in, but also, I’m not shy about sharing how… Continue reading Let’s talk about it. After.

A friend and I were both watching the same television show. I’m not going to share the name of the show, because then I fear you will hyper focus on the subject or something along those lines, and that’s not really the point of this. Anyway, a few days ago, I mentioned that another episode… Continue reading Reality TV.
