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,…

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,…
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…
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…

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…
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…
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…
Hollywood is gearing up for tonight’s Primetime Emmy Awards, where Jason Bateman is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal of Marty Byrde in Netflix’s Ozark. In honor of this very special occasion (and since I can’t be there in person to celebrate), I’ve collected my top five Jason Bateman…
The summer heat and humidity in NYC is the real deal, y’all. I always assumed that the farther north you go, the less heat you have to deal with (hey, I never claimed to be a meteorologist), but I was all kinds of wrong and have resigned myself to breaking a legit sweat every morning…
I heard a staggering statistic recently. Men will apply for a job if they meet 60% of the qualifications, while women will apply only if they meet 100% of them. What the what? As a woman working in the woman-dominated industry of public relations, my mind was blown. I’ve had the privilege of working with…
