I share my thoughts and observations about my life.
Early on in this blog’s existence, I wrote a post with the above title that had a list of goals that I said I would provide updates on about my progress. As demonstrated by the years that I didn't post, I didn’t keep that promise. Now that I’m recommitted to this blog, I hope to... Continue Reading →
The end of March was equal parts busy and relaxing since I was prepping for then went on vacation. I found time to make the pretzels but not to write up my baking challenge for the month. I am hoping that in April I will be able to catch up and get back on track.... Continue Reading →
Today is March 8th, 2021. A year ago today, I was spending time with my friend Kristina who was in town for a weekend full of theater. We visited Hamilton Grange for a tour, walked all the way back to midtown with a short stop at Levain Bakery for cookies, and then had dinner at... Continue Reading →
...Making eclairs was a pretty fun challenge. The recipe I used was this one from foodnetwork.com. The process of baking eclairs involves 3 components - the creme patisserie, choux pastry, and the chocolate glaze. Oooh la la I feel so French! It took a while to complete the bake but I am happy to say... Continue Reading →

The last one I wrote was posted in February 2018. My intention of this blog was to get into... Continue Reading →
Monday, January 29th, 2018 was a big day for me because it marked the 6 month anniversary of having moved to New York City. It has been important for me to acknowledge each month that I am here because I check on how I am feeling and what I am thinking about after the experiences... Continue Reading →
Over the weekend of October 19th-22nd, I traveled back to Williamsburg, VA, for the Class of 2012's 5th Year Homecoming Reunion. It was a weekend that I truly needed. When it was over and I was on my way back to my NY apt, I felt a renewed sense of purpose and hope in what... Continue Reading →
Today's post is one I've wanted to write for awhile, mostly for myself more than anyone else. It is the clarification of the purpose for me writing a blog and a recommitment to it. I don't make enough time to write during a week and especially daily, but I hope to make it more of... Continue Reading →
every so often...
