For years and years, I could have sworn I was a size seven-and-a-half. 7 1/2. Right? 7 1/2. Tra La La La seven-and-a-half. And I would buy shoes, and wear them- and many pairs were fine. Cute, even. Some were annoying though. Pinched, rubbed, were too big or too loose. Blisters would form. Some fit … Continue reading Know Your Shoe Size
Use Both Sides
I've written about left and right brain before; how important I think it is to be WHOLE-brained. Many people have left-brained jobs. Analytical, logical, correct. Equally as many people have right-brained jobs. Creative, subjective, all over the board. But how many of us have both? Well, I'm about to show you how to work on … Continue reading Use Both Sides
When Friends React
I mentioned in previous posts... I'm rebelling a little. Not my norm, by any means. And I'm actually enjoying myself in this little rebellion. 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

G.R.O.W.
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.
Self-Realizations 4: I’m a Judge Judy
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
Butterflies
I've written about crushes before... but all those crushes are a bit out of range (for the most part... I mean, Aquaman!?) I will say, it is very fun to have a crush. I think no matter how old you are, you still get that same butterfly feeling when you have a crush on someone. … Continue reading Butterflies
Rebel Inside
When I was searching for a photo to describe a 'rebel' two things kept popping up: 1) Southern Confederacy/Flags 2) Islamic Rebels How funny that these two things are related!!! But that wasn't what I was looking for. I was looking for rebelliousness.... breaking the rules, throwing caution to the wind, all that good stuff. … Continue reading Rebel Inside
And So It Ends…
This trip, anyhow. I am in a hotel in Singapore, hanging out until my 6am flight back to LA via Narita, Japan. As I mentioned previously, I have been to Malaysia several times, and each time, I learn something new... about myself, about my family, about life. Here's a little recap: Trip 1: Age 18 … Continue reading And So It Ends…
Thanksgiving Melayu
"What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet..." - Juliet, Romeo and Juliet And by the words of Shakespeare, so too does Thanksgiving, by any other name (or in this case, by any other country) would taste as delicious. Thanksgiving is my favorite … Continue reading Thanksgiving Melayu
