I just came back from attending Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It had always been a dream of mine to ride on a hot air balloon, and I decided if I was going to do it, I was going to DO it. The first Fiesta was held in 1972 with just a handful of… Continue reading Best. Date. Ever.

The Inner-est Crowd.
I’ve found it interesting that every corner of the universe has a cool girl quota. There’s no space that’s so chill, so intrinsically meditative that there is not a clique of some kind that forms- the “in crowd” and the “others.” Now, these groups certainly take on different forms and functions. Some are larger and… Continue reading The Inner-est Crowd.
Some kind of magic.
I had the opportunity to visit Sequoia National Park, Kings Canyon National Park, and Yosemite National Park this past week. I'm not sure if opportunity is the correct word here. Perhaps privilege is better. Or honor. Or delight. It was absolutely a thing of magic. I’ve been really caught up in everything lately. I’ve been… Continue reading Some kind of magic.
Treacherous Honesty.
This morning, I was chatting with my cousin, and I shared that I’m deeply obsessed with and captivated by the way that moisture sits on grass, flowers and leaves. I acknowledged the weirdness of this sentiment, and he responded by telling me that he is obsessed by the way bodies of water ripple (he’s on… Continue reading Treacherous Honesty.
The Spectacular Grift.
I haven’t written much on what’s been going on in the world right now, or the United States, to be more specific. I think I’m having a hard time finding the words. There is just so much. I’m not sure where to start. It’s likely the reason why I last honed in on some topics… Continue reading The Spectacular Grift.
Can I NOT?
Two girlfriends recently shared dating horror stories with me. And not the kind of stories you might imagine when you consider dating in 2024. When considering how fraught online dating is, which seems to be the primary method these days, my mind might go to someone who is married but, in his feels, or who… Continue reading Can I NOT?
Happy I’m-Sorry-My-Independence-Makes-You-Uneasy Day.
“So, you have a whole bunch of invitations- you just don’t want to accept them, right?” asked Sus. Sure. Sort of. Not really. I did, I do, have a few Fourth of July plan offers. And for that, I am grateful. And also, confused. Maybe confused isn’t the right word to use. I can’t quite… Continue reading Happy I’m-Sorry-My-Independence-Makes-You-Uneasy Day.
Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3.
Someone told me the other day that they missed me outreaching them as much as I used to. They said that the frequency with which I reached out, and my confidence in doing so, made them feel loved in a way that they hadn’t much in their life thus far. They were sharing that they… Continue reading Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3.
Don’t grab ’em anywhere.
I had drinks with a friend last night after work. We met to swap war stories and catch up on life. She’s a newer friend but a human that I liked nearly the second I met her. You know when you meet someone and you just know, almost immediately? That was this person. And, I… Continue reading Don’t grab ’em anywhere.
So, I’m the worst?
There is something particularly gutting about someone telling you that you aren’t communicating well. That seems an overly general statement, as I’m not sure that everyone feels that way. I do. If I’m being completely candid, there are times that my brain is moving faster than my mouth. It’s my heart, too. There are all… Continue reading So, I’m the worst?
