the parentals + thanksgiving: practice makes perfect

My life has been super full in the last few months.  Ergo the absolute absence of blog posts.  Sorry bout that peeps. I might almost say too full at times, but I would never ever say that because in an avalanche of crazy busy wonderful, there was no time to be overwhelmed.  Overwhelm doesn’t happen.  […]

manifesting miracles: how to designate soul vs. ego

New York is perfect in the fall.  Perfect.  Posh peeps back from the beach, flirty skirts framed by boots replacing sandals.  Back to school kids bestowing a youthful energy, and the next season of art, culture, restaurant openings, rousting for their return, while citywide everyone transitions barista orders from iced to regular.

collective unconscious: 2 things you need to know… crazypants!

A bestie texts me this last week: “NY Mag Approval Matrix uses the term “crazy-pants.” Never seen it written here before. #magsisatrendsetter.” The New York Magazine approval matrix, in case you’re unfamiliar, is, as they dub it: “Our deliberately oversimplified guide to who falls where on our taste hierarchies.”  Liberal, snarky, it gives a snapshot […]

how to navigate :: an nyc bike messenger scene snippet

An elegant, slightly older woman pulls up next to me on tony lower Fifth Avenue.  It’s a perfect Manhattan summer afternoon.  I am not in a hurry. “I just got this bike: what kind is yours?” We both look down at my legs; it’s an old Schwinn. “You just zoomed by me back there,” she is […]
