One morning on my walk to the subway, a lady stopped me and asked, “Is there a subway around here?” She had a heavy accent, and it took me asking her to repeat her question a few times before I even figured out that she was asking about a subway. Now because I’m still new…
I've woken up on Father’s Day three times now since I lost my dad, and I honestly can’t believe it’s been that long or that he's gone at all. In December 2016 when he passed away out of nowhere, the thought of carrying on with life as I knew it seemed impossible. I have to…
The 2019 Tony Awards are in the books, and I could not be more grateful to have been at the tippy-top of Radio City Music Hall to watch the entire event go down. It was everything I could’ve imagined, and so much more. And while my recap can’t dare do the evening justice, I’ll try…
I feel like the Year of Yes is having a moment. And while I love the concept of doing more, getting out of your comfort zone and having new experiences, I’ve decided to swing my pendulum to the other extreme. As someone who’s always tried to please others with little to no regard for my…
We’re exactly one week out from the Tony Awards! Let’s talk about some of the nominations. I can’t speak to every nominated show or actor – While I have made it through all of the musicals, I still have a handful of plays left on my list that will have to wait until after the…
In high school, a group of us went to Fargo, ND, for an annual conference for Latin (the dead language) students. As a pretty sheltered child in Houston, I had basically never heard of Fargo (there was the movie, but I hadn’t even seen that). So when the location for the event came down, it…
Earlier this month, I went to an extra-special Quilt event…a Q&A between Quilt co-founder Ashley Sumner and Aliza Licht (find out all about Aliza here). The mastermind behind the DKNY PR Girl Twitter handle and a powerhouse in the fashion industry, Aliza welcomed a small group into her world for the evening. She was so gracious…
When you ask my mom what she’d like for or to do on Mother’s Day (or Christmas or her birthday, for that matter), she – like so many mothers who have come before and after her – will likely tell you “nothing.” I know she's being humble, but if we're being honest, what could I ever give…

I’m going to let y’all all in on a little secret that it took me way too long to figure out on my own – Nobody knows what they’re doing. We’re all just making it up as we go along, there’s no guide book or map to consult for the real game of life. As…
I just finished reading The Year of Less by Cait Flanders, who I’m now convinced needs to be my BFF stat. Based on its short description, I checked this e-book out from the library with a few others without giving it too much thought – and that decision turned out to be a total game-changer.…
