It feels like I have nothing to do today
I have learned so much trivia as I scrolled social media. And it has been so easy to do it because I have nothing to do. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I have plenty of goals that I want to achieve, but I haven’t actually created any plans for how I would achieve them.…

I have my eye on the luxury stays at Aman NYC
I am waiting, hoping for the day that I randomly win a sweepstakes, so I can finally afford a stay at Aman New York, or really any of their properties. Curiosity is my vice, and it has me desperately wanting to know if a stay at this luxury hotel is worth it. On a cheap…

Oh to be consistent
I’m still in the “new year” mindset, possibly fueled by all of the content all over social media pushing me to believe this will be my best year yet. But now two weeks into the new year, it doesn’t feel that way. I started with big scary goals, but the effort to match just isn’t…

Reflecting on a stranger
I never met Virgil Abloh, but as a someone who was starting to finally accept her interest in fashion, I knew him. His name was oft repeated, and often in mouths full of praise.

Squirrel!
I watched the squirrel dart into the street. I knew better than to try and swerve around it as it tried to make a decision. The choice seemed obvious. Head back to the safety of the grass away from the incoming car, but here it was confused. I wonder if that is what I look…

Lesson learned trapped in a parking lot
In order to avoid getting stuck in rush hour traffic, I left hours ahead of when I needed to be at work. I set up with my laptop inside a Starbucks just minutes away. Thirty minutes before I needed to arrive, I packed up my things to head to my car, only to discover it…

That wasn’t so hard
Today, I got home and spent relatively little time scrolling on YouTube. I was on a mission. I had seen a mouse and wanted to make sure I never saw one again. In the midst of all of my cleaning and rodent problem solving, I saw the bag of old clothes and fabrics that had…

I really like the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge
I went back to the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge. Truthfully, it was the first really nice hotel I had ever stayed at and set the standard for me as to what a hotel experience could and should be like. This time around I booked using the Mastercard Travel services to take advantage of some of…

I should do this
I had the opportunity this weekend to lead a workshop. I put people in groups, I facilitated conversations, I felt like myself again. I knew I enjoyed doing that, but I hadn’t had the chance to do it in so long. In the book, Designing Your Life, the authors talk about paying attention to the…
