Thoughts, inspiration, balance… and randomness
Yes, watch what they do, not what they say. My dad used to tell me this in reference to boys. I didn't believe him at first.... so I ignored it pretty much for the majority of my dating-eligible life. You see, my witty brain accepted words (especially loving and complimentary ones) as tangible things... meaning, … Continue reading Watch What They Do, Not What They Say
I didn't realize how amazing being responsive was... until people were actually responsive. I think so rarely do people respond immediately that we're a bit shocked when they do. This made me realize... if you want to make an impact in the world- in your relationships, in your community, in the workplace... it really can … Continue reading Responsiveness
This weekend was very friend-centric for me. I had kick ball with some friends Friday night. My best friend from high school was in town this weekend. I went to yoga and brunch with one of my close neighbor friends, and I went to dinner with some of my college and book club friends. Topics … Continue reading Friends

It all matters. They can be informative, instructional, funny, sad, upsetting, brash.... the end result of a word or words … Continue reading They’re Just Words

What I didn't anticipate, is the effect it would have on my friendships (even though my rebelliousness has no direct impact on them). One of my choices, as of late, has … Continue reading When Friends React
My best friend from high school, whom I adore, and think the world of... is about to change her life. Dukes and I became friends late in adolescent life... seniors in high school. We bonded over soccer and the Beastie Boys and since then, she truly has witnessed my human evolution. We don't talk every … Continue reading G.R.O.W.
I am probably one of the more judgmental people on this planet. I admit it. I always have been critical of behavior, choices, circumstances of others... and while I secretly and internally judged, I usually brushed off that judgment with, "they can do whatever they want, but I certainly would never do that." In fact, … Continue reading Self-Realizations 4: I’m a Judge Judy
