  • The Things I Couldn’t Budget for in 2015

    2015 was a year of movement.  Though bittersweet, Ben and I waved our life in Jersey City goodbye and moved out to the little haven of Montclair.  As we pulled into town with the first car load of stuff, I jokingly said, “Hey, thanks for moving to the suburbs with me!”  I could feel his mini-heart attack from across the…

  • Speranza Theatre Support and Blog Promo Opportunity!

    Happy Friday! I have a very special theatre company to tell you about, one that I have worked with for the past year and a half and cannot recommend enough. Speranza Theatre Company in Jersey City is a rapidly growing professional theatre group that promotes the works of female playwrights, plays supporting women’s issues, and…

  • Why Do We Blog?

    My point is that quite often, blogging in particular is about telling your story in order to invite a community to share your experience. If not, you would just write it all in a journal. Now, things get tricky when the writer hopes or expects a certain reaction, OR, in this recent case, the reader…

  • Friday and Its Possibilities

    Yesterday was the wackiest day. I’ve been struggling to come up with new material throughout October (I seriously almost just wrote September, because I’m convinced that month didn’t happen yet), but with the fall flying by and the projects quickly adding up, I haven’t had as much creative energy to devote to this blog than…

  • Updated Website! Woohoo!

  • Greetings from Wildwood

    I have an unnatural attachment to the Great Egg toll booth plaza on the Southbound side of the Garden State Parkway.  Anyone who has spent their lives traveling to the southern tip of the Jersey Shore understands this feeling.  After the inevitable Union County traffic, the pushy crowds of the Atlantic City rest stop, and…

  • Elite Daily Publication

    Yahoo!!  Okay, I am new to this whole getting published thing so I am still celebrating every time it happens. This is an article I wrote on a whim.  I recently became a contributing writer to Elite Daily, and their “trending topic” of the week was “Traveling without Technology.”  So I wrote this in about…
