Stuffed Pantry
I’m in NYC, staying at a friend’s apartment. She’s often away at length on business and wishes her apartment were more occupied. I am having an amazing time staying in her home. I opened her pantry and it’s stuffed full of healthy foods. Lean lemonade (95% fewer calories), every variation of granola bar. I tried […]

First Rains
March 5, 2018
2018 has been spectacular for me– opening up to a new romance has been so many things. I’ve been dating my special person for over 8 weeks now. I have not spoken about it with many people. Usually, I talk people’s ears off when I first start dating someone new. I want to talk […]

Things I forgot I loved
January 29, 2018

Love Note 10/13
December 7, 2017
Found this cheesy little note while cleaning out an old inbox Love is indigo. Love is bright orange. Love is rainbow-coloured. Love is hopeful, elusive and full. It contents you even when you’re hungry, broke, or broken. Love is uplifting. Like singing along to Channel Orange in the summer and Lianne La Havas in the […]

Lucky Lucky!
December 6, 2017
I have been lucky with my friends. I have them all over the world. All kinds of people. Genuinely good and beautiful people. People who are perfect even with all their flaws. Can you imagine that? One thing that they have in common is that they love me, they show it and I feel the […]
