  • 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. Yes, it’s odd, and yes, deep down I know they’re not going chase us…

  • Tips on Taking a Mental Monday

    My school was closed for Rosh Hashanah yesterday, and so, I had an unexpected day without responsibilities.  Because of this, I was suddenly reminded of how I spent almost four years of my freelance NYC life- putzing around while the rest of the world goes to an office.  And the next time you feel completely…

  • Offbeat Home Publication

    Hello all!  Despite my little blogging break, I am excited to say that Offbeat Home posted one of my recent articles about Buddhism and cleaning. Check out the Offbeat home article here!🙂          

  • Blogging Break

    Hi all.  Normally on Sunday, at least for the past two weeks, I include a new recipe I’m working on.  I also have some beautiful photos from Vermont that I look forward to sharing this week.  Unfortunately, there are days that simply stop you in your tracks.  On the way home from our trip, I…

  • You are a winner!

    I started off this morning with a positive attitude, and I am so thankful for it.  The residue of last week’s money panic lasted through the weekend and unfortunately had an effect on the trip I took with Ben.  There’s nothing worse than being surrounded by a beautiful setting when your brain is stuck on…

  • I have holes in my shoes: Financial and Mental Priorities

    Yesterday I attended an amazing event for the company I’ve mentioned a bunch  of times on here, Learnvest.   It is a financial planning site primarily geared towards women.  I love it.  It’s open-minded, practical, and a lot of the articles apply to artsy people in my situation.  So when I headed out yesterday to meet…

  • What happened to my Camino writing?

    The Seven Year Rule I have no idea who said it, but I heard the theory that you need at least seven years to process an emotional event before writing about it.  Though writing about the Camino has been uplifting for me, I know deep down I am only skimming the surface of the experience. …

  • A still morning

    I want to write about the Camino, but I can’t pretend that 9/11 isn’t on my mind.  I take the Path from Jersey City to the WTC for my temp job.  My 8:05 train, where I am usually squeezed between two gray suited men, was nearly empty.  I sat because there were open seats.  When…

  • Two Days in One Post! Happy Monday!

    So I know I have some catching up to do since I fell into weekend mode after a crazy few days as a fake receptionist.  But I’m very happy to report that my memory has yet to fail me with my recount of the Camino.    At the risk of this becoming an endless blog post…

  • Bring on September

    End of Summer Blues As long as I can remember, I’ve always become incredibly nostalgic at the end of August.  It  just feels more like the end of the calendar year to me, especially more than the end of December.  You can feel summer ending.  And though it is still warm, those nice autumn breezes…
