This is week 3 in a six weeks series. Our clothes dryer does this weird thing. After so many cycles, it won’t stop – even after it’s powered off. I can hear the signal indicating that it’s finished but the drum continues to spin. The last time it happened, about a month ago, I thought …

6 Weeks ’til Summer: Part 2
This is week two in a six weeks series. There’s actually two gray eyelashes. And when I looked at them while putting on some mascara, I noticed that they are actually white. And they stick out like a sore thumb. If you read part one in this series, 6 Weeks ’til Summer: Part 1, you …
Through the Wrong Lens
I have a progressive eye disease that requires me to wear contact lenses to have the most precise vision. They are very tiny, a wee bit larger than a pencil eraser, and the right lens is marked with a small black dot so I don’t mix them up. Today things were a bit blurry but …
Reflections on 36
In a little over an hour I’ll turn 37 years old. It feels weird coming out of my mouth because I don’t necessarily know that I had any idea of what I’d ‘be like’ when I was 37 and I’m pretty sure I’m only turning 25. What I do know is that 36 was a …
Suffering in Silence
I’ve been listening and watching the news a lot lately. Like many, I have been astonished at the number of accusations of sexual harassment and sexual assault that have come to light. There have been countless articles, think pieces, hashtags, and opinions about who, why, and how. One question that keeps coming up is, why …
Please Don’t Talk to Me
I am rarely in a mood not to talk. Whether it’s through face-to-face conversation, phone calls, text messages, or comments on social media, I get my energy from interacting with others. But sometimes, I need a break and want to just disconnect. I was having one of these moments when I took my girl to …
Guess Who’s Back?!
It’s been over a month since I’ve posted a blog post. I could give you a million reasons why but honestly, I just didn’t feel like writing. Okay, I did but I didn’t know how to put into words what I was feeling. Cue the steroid shot… Part of what makes me who I am …
The Heart of the People
Yesterday, millions of people marched for women’s rights and in protest of the new POTUS. From Boston to San Francisco, people gathered to remind this country and the 45th President that we have rights that we are willing to fight for. I didn’t march but several friends did. I spent some time on Facebook enjoying …
One Last Time
This will be my last post about politics for awhile. In my 20s, I wasn’t nearly as vocal about politics, racial injustice, gender inequality, etc. I mean yes, I joked with a dear friend about how I couldn’t believe GW Bush got elected because he’s kind of goofy, but that was about it. But then, …
What Matters Most
In my blogging journey, I have wanted to write about a variety of things that have happened in my life, the lives of people I know, and the world around me. I have sat down in front of my computer or with my phone in my hand, ready to type out the day’s manifesto – …
