I think it started with these shoes. I think it was my cousin who was like, "Yo. Those are your kind of shoes." And people say that to me regularly, believe it or not. Only, I couldn't pinpoint a type of shoe that is "my kind" over any other, but when people say it...I findContinue reading "What I Wore Wednesday: Yellah edition"
My garden/ my life.
My garden had a weird summer. I feel like this is code for: I had a weird summer. So, that's where this post is going. Now you have been notified. So: back to my garden. I feel like a lot of elements were working against my garden. For one, many of my perennials never evenContinue reading "My garden/ my life."
Prepping to see da Pope
Every day on my day planner from here through September's end has a check-box on it with things I need to work on for the Philadelphia trip. Ay yi. Yesterday's check-box was "design t-shirt." Check. My sister thought of the design, but the internet and the Christmas-Sharpie from my brother and my own hands madeContinue reading "Prepping to see da Pope"
What I Wore Wednesdayyyy
It occurs to me that mostly everything I'm wearing today comes with a story attached. And, while life has a timeline, I don't know the timeline to everything here, today. But, I'm wearing a dress I bought in Spain two summers ago. I had just finished walking the Camino de Santiago, and I saved aContinue reading "What I Wore Wednesdayyyy"
This weekend
This past weekend was Labor Day weekend and it was a lovely blend of lovely things. Photographic proof? My pleasure. Only two pictures, though. Because sometimes I elect not to photo-document and instead just live.
Your wellness is worth it
I have a few friends who are coming to the realization that, hey, maybe the foods they've been eating for years (looking at you, gluten) might be harming their bodies instead of helping them; tearing their bodies apart instead of nourishing them; leading their bodies to lonely places like late-nite drugstore aisles and toilets-at-parties* insteadContinue reading "Your wellness is worth it"
You can take the girls away from the Camino…
...but you just can't take the Camino away from the girls. A few weeks ago I wrote to my cousin and my Juli-YEAH, "Camping?" and they said, "YES." so we tossed around dates and places and settled, quickly, on the one that worked for all of us. And then I made the reservation and tuckedContinue reading "You can take the girls away from the Camino…"
City-streets lavendar
You would never know there was a bee shortage from the lavender plants outside of my city-block office; scores of fuzz buzzing as they scale and swarm from stalk to stalk. I think that maybe someone forgot to spray the plants for bugs and the like, but I don't know that for sure. But, judgingContinue reading "City-streets lavendar"
Wherein I protest Planned Parenthood, but the Satanists show up to support
I've been trying to think of how to approach this for the past few days, and I'm failing. Crash and burn on all of my brainstorms. 🙂 But, then I realized: I studied journalism. I can just start with the story, right? Last Friday my mom said to me, "Hey, do you want to prayContinue reading "Wherein I protest Planned Parenthood, but the Satanists show up to support"
Musings from dancings
I went dancing last Friday, after work and circus, vintage scarf fastened around my neck. About an hours' drive from my house is a great swing scene--great music, great leads, great floor (<--note the dance-speak. Yes, we talk about floors. And this is a pretty nice floor--slick, shiny wood). And I was wearing red, redContinue reading "Musings from dancings"
