Thoughts, inspiration, balance… and randomness
Listen, I'm not winning any prizes here on my lil' 'ol blog. I'm perfectly aware of my blogging world footprint (thanks to the analytics WordPress includes in my annual fee, lol). I'm no Oprah, Dalai Lama, or the like. I like to think a few of you out there actually get entertainment, a deep thought, … Continue reading Fake It ‘Til You Make It
Yes, quite similar to Eat, Pray Love. With a twist. I am going to my third country (vacation) in one year, much like Elizabeth Gilbert. But my trips are just a little different. Yes, I went to Thailand. And yes, like Ms. Gilbert, I visited two Asian countries within the same year. I suppose I … Continue reading Drink Pray Love
I really really wanted to write about Bachelor Pad today. But seriously, it was so gawd-awful, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I mean awful. I don't know that I can watch the rest of the season anymore it's so bad. I wanted to salvage something from it... anything... as, believe it or not, … Continue reading Non-Attachment
I hosted half of my lovely bookclub ladies here over the weekend. The book was based on Korea, so I decided to reach out to one of my culinary Korean friends, and asked her what I should make. Not only did she forward me a web site for a recipe, but she sent me the … Continue reading Bibbidi-Bibimbapidi-Boo

What is front of you right now? For me, it is summer. Not some flaxen hair girl, but the actual season. … Continue reading Oh, I Love You, Summer

We are each other's friends, therapists, confidants, entertainers, comediennes, companions. We help. Push. Love. Listen. Encourage. This makes book club fun. Interesting. Thought-provoking. I … Continue reading Read a Little
The first time I read The Secret Garden by Francis Hodgson Burnett, I was in elementary school. I was a voracious reader, mainly sticking to the likes of The Babysitter's Club or Sweet Valley High (Sweet Valley Twins I also read, but they were a bit thin). I also dabbled with Nancy Drew (I considered … Continue reading The Secret Garden
I am officially one week away from the big 3-5. Every year, I think about what I've accomplished since the previous year. Have I done the 35 things I wanted to do by the time I turned 35? Well, I have one week to do it. 35x35 List 1. Find soulmate 2. Get married to … Continue reading 35×35
The other day, a Facebook friend of mine posted this interesting article about pronouns. Just how often are you saying "I" versus "You" in everyday conversation? And what does it mean? I thought the article was fascinating, interesting and something that questioned my own self-awareness. A new book, The Secret Life of Pronouns by James … Continue reading Me, Myself and I (and You?)
Ok, the title is a bit misleading. No, I am not an alcoholic, and no, Mai Tais are not my actual friends. This week I met up with some of my gals for happy hour (happy hour lasted until 1130pm). Not because we were eating and drinking the night away (although there was some eating … Continue reading Mai Tai, My Friend
