a wanderess tale

she was a 'wanderess.' thus, she didn’t care about money, only experiences – whether they came from wealth or from poverty, it was all the same to her. – roman payne

eclipse part: II

I have a lot of thoughts right now. Not just in the present moment but as every day unfolds it seems that my mind is on overdrive. Throughout the 24 hour cycle, the range of my emotions can be extreme. A case of emotional whiplash occurs quite regularly. As the dawn breaks my heart and […]

eclipse part: I

We are living in a strange world at the moment, one of extremes. It seems that since January I have been playing out in my own mind what exactly this would look like for me. What would it feel like? How could I prepare? The thing is you really can’t. Nothing has quite turned the […]

fine, i bid summer adieu

Leaving California wasn’t hard this last July. Yes, I would miss the sunshine, blue skies and my family, but I had my Mom by my side. We were sitting in LAX sippin’ on some drinks before I whisked her around Europe. Of course my heart broke a little as I hugged my Dad goodbye. Taking […]

pleas from the past

I try my best to keep my politics out of social media. I stand pretty firmly on most issues that I believe in. However, I love a good debate. A great conversation with people who are educated and willing to have it. This summer I visited a lot of WWII sites. Hell, I live 100 […]

Just like every thing else in life, everyone’s list is different. Some people wish whole heartedly to have a family, get married in a castle or be a […]

prosecco ‘n prague

From the moment my Mom bought her ticket, I knew Prague was on our list. I was completely bewitched by Prague during the bitter winter, it had winding streets and pastel facades that never faded from my frosted memories. Krakow was now stored in our suitcases as we begun to glide over rusted tracks. Heavy-headed beers […]

a decade, or three.

Thirty is upon me. It snuck up on you like a shadow in the dark. Although, I am not afraid as I once was. For as long as I could remember thirty was something unattainable, so grown-up and I had a list of goals that were imprinted upon me by a society that I had […]

an ode to spring

Winter has begun to slowly melt, it’s frostbitten tears sink into the ground breaking winter’s icy spell with a promise of lighter days. A sky that was once painted grey holds a shade of blue I have never seen before. A soft golden glow fills the morning air as  glitter pours in through the smallest crevices […]

istanbul not constantinople

Anyone who has spent any time away from home knows that the hardest times can come when the holidays arrive. I had never been a fan of Thanksgiving, I don’t really like the food, we don’t really have a family get together so why would I be feeling this sensitive? Turns out, you can get […]
