Thoughts, inspiration, balance… and randomness
"I'd like a medium, with cheese, and fries please," I told the kid at the front register. I am normally pretty darn close to "very healthy and organic". I have no meat or dairy in my house, I try to make healthy choices when I am on my own, I go to yoga. But this … Continue reading Is it Just Me? Actually, yes.
She was apprehensive as she walked toward the school entrance. The nervousness seemed to multiply with every cautious step. Around her were other people, huddled in small groups, whispering, looking at her. Nothing like being the new girl on the first day of school, she sighed. She could feel their eyes working their way up … Continue reading Bulls on Parade

I went out with a guy friend once who said to me, "This is why you are single. You claim you want a guy to take care of you, yet you are way too independent and don't want to take care of the guy."

"You overthink too much." The Aussie told me this straight out while I was in Australia. I, of course, rebuffed his statement because I like to think I'm so easy going and simple. I am, in general. I think. I am very much a go-with-the-flow, just-trust-the-universe type of person. You wanna do that? Sweet, I'm … Continue reading Self-Realization 5: I’m An Overthinker

Co-workers who are not only outstanding employees, but thoughtful friends. Friends who are doing amazing things in their lives like running companies, reporting the news, healing … Continue reading What Will You Do in 2013?
The right house, that is. So, yeah, I'm trying to buy a place. The last time I bought a place was in 2001, which I subsequently sold in 2004, and jumped onto the rental bandwagon. Everything was going along fine in my rental house, then - something in me changed. I wanted to buy a … Continue reading Finding “The One”
It's a funny thing. I end up traveling alone quite a bit. It's not really what I set out to do... it's just sort of... what ends up happening. I plan a trip, I get someone to go with me. They can't make it for some reason/change plans. I'm usually not upset about it... in … Continue reading Traveling Alone
You've probably figured by now that I am going to post about Australia all week- and that would be correct. I'm going to start off easy. Some of the initial observations I had while I was in Australia. Then as the week progresses, I'll get into the internal, meaningful stuff. I'm going to be brutally … Continue reading Aussie ABCs
