my life as a book
I have no idea what direction this blog will take but I’m hoping it makes me feel better, as writing usually does. I actually have nothing to feel “down” about – I had a great weekend, followed by a pretty productive week at work and some fun plans and I leave for a beach vacation in…
Read Moreode to my friends
I was on an emotional rollercoaster today- started off the day feeling happy and confident, but something inconsequential happened that felt monumental and as a result, my great mood turned ugly. But I vented my concerns to a friend and within an hour, she replied and I felt better. Emails from this friend usually do…

Billy Joe, a porter in my apartment complex, often stops me as I am coming or going out of my building and tells me to “relax”, “take a break” and “slow down”. He is under the impression that I’m one of those people who is always on the go and incapable of sitting still for…

I’d like to preface this blog by telling everyone how much I love my mother and dispelling any notions you might have, based on some of my previous posts, that she’s anything short of amazing. She gave birth to me. Kidding! Well, she did give birth to me. (Or at least that’s the story she…
Read Moreunusual sources of inspiration
To date, I’ve written two novels, one published, one in revisions, both fiction. While both stories are make-believe, some of the characters, events, conversations etc. were inspired by true life events. For instance, my relationship with my mother, the dynamic between two or more friends, my own dating experiences and those of my friends, work environment…

The man on the treadmill next to me this morning ran like the wind for five seconds as if being chased by a gang of armed men. Then he stopped abruptly and jumped to the sides of the treadmill without adjusting the speed to stretch and breathe heavily for a few seconds. Then he repeated the process over and…
Read MoreSURPRISE!
My sisters and I threw my mother a surprise 70th birthday party this past weekend. Anyone who has ever planned a surprise party knows that it can get a little dicey. For instance, the party was planned for my mom’s actual birthday, Sunday, May 1st. About a month before the party, my mom informed us…
