Thursday Faith
Hello there! I wanted to tell you about an exciting new project I’m working on called Thursday Faith. It is a weekly newsletter that will be centered around faith-based content. Growing up, my family almost always went to church on Sundays. That’s what Sundays were all about! Well that and rollups, which is what we Continue reading

Do You Know This Smell?
I’ve been thinking a lot about smells recently, and how interesting it is that we can know and retain and understand so many smells, but the knowledge and memories associated with them are often only triggered when we physically smell them. Trying to describe a smell is like trying to describe a texture. You can Continue reading

200 Day Time Capsule Blog (#11)
One of my favorite parts about these time capsule blogs is reading the cute little notes I write myself at the beginning. I always feel a *little* cheesy when I’m typing them, but when the letter comes in 200 days later, I always smile. This letter opened with: Hey 33-year-old me, how are you? Then Continue reading

Working the Closing Shift
I saw a Tik Tok the other day where a girl described the walk through she does of her apartment each night, calling it the “closing shift”, and I realized I do the exact same thing. Each night, after I turn the television off and start making my way to bed, I walk around my Continue reading

I Am 33 and…
Today is my birthday! Fun fact: I don’t love my birthday! Not because I don’t like celebrating another year of being alive, but because I don’t like the attention. I feel more self-conscious on my birthday than any other day because it’s home to the most surprises, and I hate surprises even more than I Continue reading

Let the Pinball Ping
I was listening to the Modern Love podcast the other day and writer Samantha Joseph read her essay, “I Had to Stop Asking Why” that was previously published in the column. It is a beautiful piece that touches on suicide and the questions that family and friends are left with in the aftermath, and there Continue reading

I Like Peanut M&M’s Now (Because I Can Change My Mind)
For about a decade now, my mom, sister, and I, as well as my two aunts, have had season tickets to the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles. We see seven shows a year, getting together one Tuesday a month to make the drive downtown for whichever musical or play is on rotation. As part of Continue reading

Maui & The Impossible (Where Humanness Becomes Our Greatest Strength)
About a week ago I watched The Impossible, which is a movie about the 2004 tsunami that devastated Indonesia. The film focuses on a family that was staying at a resort in Thailand, who all managed to both survive the tsunami and find each other amongst the chaos afterward. Ever since I saw this movie Continue reading

You Were There (A Story for My Niece About the Eras Tour)
So there we were. Dressed up and eating pasta on a shady, breezy patio. Some of us were sparkling, and all of us were smiling. We were so excited. Next to us there was a girl with pretty makeup and jewels glued to her cheeks and around her eyes. And then the radio started playing Continue reading
