I just witnessed a mind blowing Frontline special called “Generation Like” (video here )… The power of a like. The comparison between Hunger Games and social media was not far off. Kids of this generation (myself included) inundated daily by whether or not a photo being liked has anything to do with your mental status throughout […]
The Hopeless Romantic Me I love love. Ask anyone. I’m that girl that cries at Hallmark commercials…or this Budweiser commercial…ugh don’t even get me started… I love that feeling of butterflies and obsessive compulsive (yet non-stalking) thoughts of thinking about if that person is thinking about you at that very second…it makes me […]
I am not a brand girl. I don’t care about the latest Coach or Michael Kors. Yes, give me two options, and I tend to pick the most expensive, but also have a hella lot of Target and H&M in my wardrobe. And I honestly don’t remember the last time I bought a pair of […]
I just got the sweetest text from a dear friend about how much I mean to them…and even though I knew this subconsciously, it was both a surprise and a blessing to have it spelled out for me…To realize, yes, you do matter in the world, and the world is, in fact, brighter with you […]
I have no idea why I feel bad, but I do. It’s not like I set out to do that. But then, people that I haven’t talked to in quite a while are asking, “was it really you? Cause it doesn’t sound like you, but then, I don’t know. We haven’t talked in a while, […]

What is it about the rain? Another day, another fun-filled day of life frustration and celebration, but what IS it about the rain? Getting caught in a rainstorm whilst walking the furry thing…(in a faux leather jacket to boot), I couldn’t help but smile. Strolling in the downpour sans umbrella, a wet dog with bended […]
There is an email-based newsletter that I like to follow (thanks to a fellow psycho-analyzer) – and, like the daily horoscope that I love to read at the local Starbucks, it conjures up untapped neurosci (it’s a word) that I had subconsciously avoided this weekend. And when I read what is below, it’s like a […]
in a level two train car full of men, the possibilities seem endless…But the wedding rings of life blind my hopeful eyes. But then , as Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds literally ‘Crash Into Me’, I can’t help but feel happy. Even after this silly cluster of a day, the train provides that comfort of […]
Tis the season for wedding proposal videos… This one, on GMA today — And believe me, I am all for the fairytale endings that romantic love can bring. I am currently on my search for that moment of connection when all things collide and the clouds burst open and choirs sing with hymns […]
