It has recently come to my attention that there are some people from my past (with whom I am not currently in touch) who believe that I have joined a cult. I find this information uproariously funny. It is funny to me because of the deep irony of such a belief or assumption. When I was…

Today, I am marking my 34th birthday. While traditionally a time of celebration in our culture, I find that for me–much like New Year’s–it has morphed into another important opportunity for reflection. A time to take a glance in the rearview mirror and to renew my mind and intentions for the year ahead. While I…

Hello, Stranger! It’s been years now since we last spoke, Longer since your eyes last met mine. It comes as a shock to see you now. I hardly recognized you. If we passed in the street, I may have missed you altogether. Time has changed you, so it seems. Or is it me? Perhaps you…

It’s 3:42 on a Tuesday afternoon. I’m sitting in a coffee shop reading blogs and surfing the web. No, I’m not on my lunch break, but I am on a break. A permanent break, as it turns out. Exactly one week ago today, at 8:30 in the morning, I was fired from my job. What…

I lived on James Island in a beautiful little one bedroom condo with hardwood floors and a fireplace and a little balcony that overlooked the marsh. I returned to Charleston exactly one year earlier, for the last time, with a…

I have a few more thoughts in follow up to the last post. I was talking to my teacher last night, and he hit upon some points that pertain to the discoveries I was making in my last post. In order to retain these ideas, I’m going to bullet-point them here: Awesomeness. If I realized…

I’ve never been big on New Year’s Eve celebrations. Growing up, it wasn’t something that my family really participated in or observed in any special way. As an adult, I have attempted to partake in NYE celebrations on a few different occassions, but every single time I ended up feeling let down, deflated, disappointed. In…

Welcome to the funk. Can you feel it? I’m in a serious funk right now. Work has got me down, and I can’t see a way out. Feeling trapped inevitably leads to panic in me. I hate feeling trapped, or stuck, with no way out. It’s one of my deepest triggers. It triggers fear, panic,…
