Two things sparked my thoughts last night about New York City and my place in it. First – My two beloveds and I began reminiscing about our life in Boulder. It all started when Ashay was suddenly experiencing pangs of nostalgia and missing our life in Colorado – things like long, beautiful hikes, open space,Continue reading “On NYC and Me…”

On Finding The Right Words
Let’s talk about looking for the “right” words. Lately, I feel as if I have constantly been searching – a search for purpose, a search for meaning, and now a search for words. Now that I am forging this new path as a writer, I feel as though I should always be writing – writingContinue reading “On Finding The Right Words”
On feeding – my soul, our bellies
Since moving to NYC, I have become more of a housewife/home manager/chef/director of housekeeping – essentially all of the above. It seems as though I’m typically in charge of figuring out what is going in our bellies at any given time. So, I’ve been the one making dinner reservations, ordering food online, grocery shopping, cooking,Continue reading “On feeding – my soul, our bellies “

I’m starting with the girl in the mirror…
I decided to go easy on myself for the first two weeks living in New York. I unpacked our belongings, ordered items that we needed on almost a daily basis, and shed some tears on what I thought was my early retirement from the career I loved. You see, this was the deal I hadContinue reading “I’m starting with the girl in the mirror…”
A Brooklyn Story
When one goes on a, shall we say, “sabbatical, with no schedule and few meetings to attend, one might feel that the days bleed into each other. Imagine my excitement when I had something on my calendar to go to! Ashay and I made ourselves cute and ready to socialize as we headed out forContinue reading “A Brooklyn Story”
The Day After The Rittenhouse Verdict
It’s that time of the week again where I give thanks to the one constant joy of my life…coffee In a world so rife with injustice I find myself, once again, deep in contemplation. I know the comfort of a warm beverage won’t hold the key to understanding, but it certainly helps as I gazeContinue reading “The Day After The Rittenhouse Verdict”
On creating an introduction …
On WordPress, when one embarks on a new blogging adventure, they ask you to create an introduction. So, this morning, while walking my extremely cute and still very vibrant senior dog, Sami the Shih Tzu, I began to develop a list in my mind. You see, for me to introduce myself, it became increasingly importantContinue reading “On creating an introduction …”
