So, tonight isn’t ending the way I thought it would: missed my connecting flight to Atlanta and I’ll be sleeping in Dallas. Well, actually I’ll be sleeping in Grapevine just north of Dallas.  But ya know what- that’s ok.  It’s ok because today didn’t go how I thought it would either and I’m grateful […]

I love traveling. Each time I have the opportunity to visit a new place I want to experience it like a local; view the world from their eyes, try out and experience the different things they enjoy, hopefully walk away with a new perspective. While living in France back in college I was pretty floored to […]

“I don’t think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.” – Anne Frank I recently have been finding all sorts of encouragement and insight through the words written by young Anne Frank. I cannot imagine the stress she endured in her families position, yet she wrote so many beautiful and insightful […]

  Oh, Enrique.   But, really.. I could be your hero. Or, at least someone’s hero.. And you could be mine (or someone’s), too!   Every 8 weeks I’m given the opportunity to play a part in saving a life because every 8 weeks the blood drive shows up outside of my work. That may […]

I am so grateful for the people I have in my life! Healthy friendships are work, but completely worth the effort. My closest friends are so fun, they challenge me and they’re among the first to encourage me. And I work to be the same kind of friend in return. I received a text this […]

I’m not great at following shows and last night I was reminded why – I can’t wait an entire week to see the next episode of Dancing with the Stars! A WEEK! But alas, I will. (Netflix, you have ruined me. Ruined me!) In the meantime, I’ll talk about it. Just a handful of thoughts […]

“I have three minutes left on the clock..” “Aww man, your struggles already over..” This is a common type of conversation in the sea of cubicles. “Is it 5 o’clock yet?” This is the normal way of thought. We become work week drones just waiting for the clock to strike 5 (or 5:30, in my […]

It was a rainy Friday morning with a forecast of more all weekend. You know what that means..  SOUP! Which is perfect because I’ve had soup on the brain this week – one soup in particular. I grew up with a math guy for a dad (he majored in physics – who does that?) so he intuitively understands […]

Have you ever heard of the app OfferUp? Its an app on your phone similar to Craigslist. It’s fun, convenient and dangerous. I say this because I logged in for the first time last night..  yet I am writing this to you while sitting in my newly acquired chair that I found on OfferUp.. this morning. […]

I feel like there has recently been an upsurge in articles about feminism, which is awesome. The latest one I came across was this: Keira Knightley Is Ready to Topple Male-Dominated Hollywood. I think she has some great things to say and her general tone overal is very empoewring. What isn’t awesome is how “feminism” […]
