Rejection

Dear Friends, Rejection. Is there anything worse? If you’re like me, you’re a person who takes risks, moves across the country, believes in herself, and does her best to suspend disbelief into the “universe,” or nothing, if you’re at all as cynical as I am. There are so many things in my life that are up in the air and instead of feeling liberated and curious, I feel scared and defeated. It’s not fun for me to not know what’s […]

Morning

Dear Friends, I am NOT a morning person. In fact, I hate the morning. The worst things happen in the morning. You have to wake yourself up out of your own slumber, and realize that whatever happened the day before is now further away from you, such that you might have to question yourself if it’s actually there anymore. There’s this pathetic song from the 1960’s, “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,” that maps a girl’s inner angst as to […]

Bitten

Dear Friends, The only thing that can be sometimes nerve-racking about being me is when things are actually going well and I’m suddenly concerned that somebody might be reading this blog and understand exactly what or who I’m referring to. I guess that’s the price I pay for being an aspiring author. I chose to be honest with the world and share my non-fiction life in a fiction-like way. Usually I complain to you, but today I’m not. Today the […]

When I Woke Up This Morning…

You were on my mind. Yeah, you were on my mind. Dear Friends, The song I’m quoting is by We Five, a one-hit wonder band of 1965. This was me and my mom’s song. We used to listen to it on K-EARTH 101.1, the Oldies station. I have the fondest memories of riding around in my mom’s silver Volvo station wagon with her, listening to Oldies. But especially this song. It was “our song.” It was the first experience I […]

Dirty Dancing

Dear Friends, I watched one of my favorite movies tonight: Dirty Dancing (do not tell me I’m predictable). I wasn’t even born when it came out. But, there’s something about the music, the moves, the charm, and the tongue-in-cheek simplicity that sets those Catskills on fire. Or wherever the hell they are. (Does any one actually know?) The truth is, no one seems to care about location in movies. They just care how pretty it is, how big the budget […]

Luck

Dear Friends, If you find a lucky penny heads-up on the floor of your own room..is it still lucky? Or because it fell out of your purse or pocket, does it mean that you took part in helping the universe to “stage” a lucky penny. Is this a phony lucky penny, or really worth something? Currency is kind of like friends. They come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors, and some of them hold more value than others. Some […]

Natural Woman

Dear Friends, Looking at the beautiful city skyline right now, I can only think of one thing tonight. Natural beauty. What makes all of us feel like natural women? What brings the eu naturele out in all of us? For me, it’s definitely not nature itself. I am a city girl through and through. I think what makes me feel the most beautiful is confidence, strength, and some YSL mascara. Moroccan oil once a week doesn’t hurt either. But seriously, […]
