Check it out! Went for something new and decided to create a video entry this time from my new Austin apartment. Enjoy! My First Vlog!

What Elsa and Anna taught me about life
Frozen II was the last movie I saw in an actual theater, back before the coronavirus pandemic hit and shut down theaters along with everything else. A Disney film fan from way back, I collected all of the soundtracks so that I could listen to my favorites whenever I needed a pick-me-up. Looking back, this…
Walking into 2020 at the Happiest Place on Earth
As y’all know, I’d been faithfully following the keto diet for more than a year before I decided it was time to move back to Texas. When I made that decision, I realized there were so many things in NYC that I hadn’t tried and obviously needed to eat them all before I left. So,…

Let’s talk about fear, baby…
One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received has also stuck with me for years (it's that good!) — Don’t make decisions based on fear. How often are we guilty of this? I’ve watched it happen in both personal and professional situations time and time again. And just like the person who shared…
Work It! Job Hunting: The Musical
Over the last couple of months, I’ve obviously been scanning job postings. I look at postings for all sorts of opportunities – both to see what I might want to do and to see what I might need to learn if I want to pursue various jobs. I find that LinkedIn makes this super easy,…
Let it go, Let it go!
I realized long ago that I wasn’t as big a person as Elsa in Frozen. Even as an animated character, she could do something I’d never been able to figure out – Let it go. I understood the concept, and I knew that letting go of things was the only way to move past them…
Introducing…Work It! The Career Chronicles
I know I’ve been sort of MIA lately. To be honest, I’ve been all over the map (literally and figuratively). Since I’ve been back in Houston, I’ve started the introspective process of what to do next career-wise. And let me tell you, reflecting on what the next chapter of your professional life should hold is…

It’s not you, NYC — It’s me
I think I've made it pretty clear that NYC is my spirit animal, if my spirit animal could be a city. So everyone, including myself, was sort of surprised when I said I was going to move back to Houston after just a year in the big apple. Why leave a place I love so…
4 Life Lessons in 4 Years
I’m back in Houston after almost exactly 4 years away. So much has changed in that time, it’s almost hard to wrap my head around. I’m certainly not the same person who left in September 2015. It’s almost like I went off to college and came back older and ever so slightly wiser, learning some…
What a difference a week makes
It’s been basically a week since I left NYC. I’ve spent that time visiting Kyle in Rochester (yay, Amtrak!) — and what a difference a week makes! Here are just a few of the withdrawals I’ve experienced so far (I think some might be considered more deposits than withdrawals, but you get the idea): Grocery…
