    Let’s use the tools provided by our current, functional social media platforms to lift everyone up. We are not numbers, we are not ratings, we are not Yelp reviews.

  • I Love New York, But I May Never Be A Good New Yorker

    After years of trying to block this out, I have accepted that the life of a true New Yorker may never be for me. We moved after several years, though we both go in nearly every day for work or class. It’s a smaller part of my life now, and I have become a significantly…

  • The Hokey Pokey Panic

      I saw a fantastic bumper sticker in the school parking lot this morning.  Maybe you’ve seen this one before too.  It says: “But what if the Hokey Pokey IS what it’s all about?!” I laughed out loud, all by myself in the parking lot.  Not just because it’s super clever, but it reminded me…

  • Bridges, Backhoes & Other Irrational Fears

    Try to contain your laughter, but I have a confession to make. A confession that many friends are aware of and have talked me through since the beginning of college: I’m a little terrified of construction equipment, specially cranes and backhoes.
