DREAM REALIZED: my beach house!!

Tomorrow I am realizing a 20 year dream and buying a beach/country house. (Woot!!) Although I have been studiously eyeing the market for years, it all happened super quickly: Accepted offer within hours, signed contracts 3 days later, and closing within a month. I have a baby, and BAM: grounding. Long term vision, adulting things I’ve […]

permission to Love: what receiving really looks like

My doula asked me the other day, “What else do you need me to know to create the environment you need for birth?” And she asked in a moment that caught me off guard, so the answer wasn’t sitting at the tip of my tongue. (Unusual for a woman who’s always sharp on tongue and answers. ;)) […]

INSTANT manifestation

This past steamy Saturday night, drenching myself in ice cubes in my West Village apartment… (we do not have a/c right now, and if you don’t know it— pregs women have higher body temp than normal… AND we have been in a heat wave in NYC…) I sweatily and lustily wished: I need to be […]

the power of ebb

Just do it. Progress. ‘Merica. Build. Dream. Reach. Push. Hustle. Even flow these days is associated with progress: instantaneous manifestation! Attract it to you! No one celebrates the down times.

the peeps that sing to your sweet spot

I was pretty spot on with how I anticipated the conversation might unfold, and true to form: “Mom, there’s an interview online at a really terrific site; it’s me talking about human evolution.” “Margaret do you have any dates set up for this weekend?” My mother’s concern for human evolution is much more localized than […]

home matters

>“Where are you headed today?” A cute TSA employee strikes up a conversation with me as I wait for the conveyor to push my laptop through the scanner. “Chicago.” “Is Chicago home?” No, he’s not cute, he’s out-of-place-for-airport-security dashing; this guy… this guy can frisk me, no problem. “No, New York is home, but my […]

>When God closes a door… He sends Morandi takeout

>After an unnecessarily trafficked trek on the Merritt stalled our road trip enthusiasm, we appear late Friday evening and the festivities are already underway. The Longtrail keg is tapped, swirling in bellies amidst blueberry and maple syrup marinated pulled pork: just one of the highlights of a BBQ table squished with organic, free range, farm-fresh, […]

>love

>”Any time not spent on love is wasted.” – Torquato Tasso One of my favorite Easter traditions used to be Swieconka. This is where Polish people gather on Holy Saturday, the day before the day, bringing culinary abundance to be blessed by a priest so that when the vodka and kielbasa starts flowing immediately after […]
