Last night's birthday dinner at Craigie on Main was probably one of the most incredible dinners I've ever had (and one of the most expensive, but totally worth it). I admit that Larry and I are foodies. This happened sometime during 2005-2007, when we were living in Maryland … Read More »

30 Moments of Gratitude & 1 Birthday Wish

The Last Night of My Twenties: Musings on the Precipice of Youth
In just a few hours, I turn 30. I will spend this evening most likely doing a load of laundry, cleaning the kitchen, and changing the cats' litter. We're having leftovers for dinner. I might even have a beer. I know, I know - livin' the wild life over here. . . … Read More »

I Am Whole, I Am Perfect, I Am Strong
Headed to the hospital in a little over an hour and a half. Had a very restless sleep last night, from the sound of the rain on the roof to fitful, strange dreams. I went to sleep listening to a beautiful, empowering belly and womb chant sent to me by my friend Natalie … Read More »
