This past weekend I began my next phase of social hibernation in an attempt to finish my book’s first draft so that I can start to search out editors to help me polish it up. One of the remaining chapters that I had planned to write yet hadn’t started was about my Nana; also known […]
I’ve been quiet on here lately… so I figured it was time to do a little writing on a topic that I recently discussed with my therapist a few weeks back. We’ve been diving into my dating history as I’ve had a string of unsuccesful relationships and I’m trying to do some soul searching to […]
**This is an excerpt from a chapter on boundary setting in my upcoming book** You’re going to have people or things in your life that probably make it easy to let your guard down, which is a great feeling and how I picture things SHOULD be when you surround yourself with those that you love. […]
I’m not exactly sure how to start this one off, but it’s apparent to me that despite how many times I write or say something… I always need a reminder to remember what’s important in life. Maybe you do too. Yesterday I found out that a friend of mine, Ralph, had passed away back in […]

I took a gamble, and it didn’t pay off. At the end of this past summer, I left my comfortable gig as Director of Marketing for a men’s fashion brand and took the leap to become VP of Marketing at a plant-based meal delivery company. I was extremely excited at the time as I felt […]
So, it’s the time of year again when most people are setting up resolutions that they will quickly give up a few weeks later. We’ve all done it. The new year comes around, we have this burst of energy and inspiration to do better, and then gone… There’s a variety of reasons why people give […]
You may be asking, where the heck is part one? Well… I wrote it many many years ago here. I figured it could be good to revisit what I’d want to tell myself if I had the chance to speak to him, just incase what I wrote at 26 didn’t hold up. Surprisingly, a lot […]
