This is the year. The year when all my friends are getting engaged, married, having kids, moving to new cities, starting new jobs, starting new lives. This is the year when a lot of things change. Two weekends ago, I was in the wedding of one of my best friends. I hadn’t yet met her [...]

This is a test

Just when you think you have it all figured out, it hits you upside the head: It’s not just my boyfriend that’s worried about the future – it’s me, too. Me, who I thought was ready for the next big thing, ready to say all my fears were behind me, ready to move forward. And [...]

How to get what we really want

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , on April 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

We are constantly being presented by choices, some clearer than others. Some will affect us for about five minutes, like which flavor of ice cream to get, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Others leave a lasting impact, like moving, getting married, having kids or getting a dog, or starting a new job. [...]

When it comes time to make life-altering decisions, sometimes, the facts are clear, the options are A or B, 1 or 2, this or that. The decision itself may not be easy, but at least all the data is there, and it’s just making that final choice. But what about when everything isn’t clear? What [...]

Those words were ingrained in me as I grew up, watching my mom and my grandparents cook gumbo, red beans and rice, other Cajun deliciosities. It was simple: flour and oil of equal portions, on medium-high heat. Stir until golden brown, and it starts to get thick. Never step away from a roux. It’s your [...]

What do you want to do?

As a kid, we were endlessly asked by parents, teachers, friends and grandma what we wanted to be when we grew up. Back then, it was easy: a firefighter! a ballerina! In my case, a writer. As we grew older, the question still lingered, but the answer wasn’t always so simple. The one or two-word [...]

Redefining Progress

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , on October 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

One of my recent posts discussed how the path to self-discovery and healing doesn’t have the traditional timelines, deadlines, to-do lists or goals that the rest of life’s projects do, whether it’s building a new website at work, or cleaning your apartment. With that idea comes the tendency, at least for me, to not recognize [...]

Life’s little reminders

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on October 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »

A busy, stressful day at work. Waking up with a headache. The Metro is 100 degrees. An annoying friend/coworker/tourist. These are just a few of the things that can make us go from feeling content, happy, or satisfied to pissed off, irritated, and looking forward to the moment we can collapse into bed and sleep [...]
