Unbroken
· The Pieces of Who You Are Will Always Make a Whole ·
We are all of us carrying around our own broken pieces. Some are very visible, and some are less so. What makes us feel and appear “broken” is how we relate to those pieces. Healing truly starts, not with fixing what is broken, but by accepting all the jagged edges and wobbly bits as a part of our own unique whole.
The Long Pause
· In Which I Embark on a New Chapter in My Search for Peace ·
I took a pause. I gave myself permission to sit back, and to notice, and to set an intentional direction for how I mean to go on in the world. I gave myself permission to write my own narrative without the need to put it down on paper.
What makes you you?
· Your You-ness is a state of being, not a state of achieving ·
What happens when you find that you have become unmoored from your “normal” life? How do you assess and cope with a situation that requires you to abruptly rewrite the framework of what you do, possibly even of who you are? Shop My Look I’ve asked many friends and family members in the past weeks…

Homemade Bitters
· The Easiest Ingredient to Master Craft Cocktails ·

The alchemy of creating craft cocktails from scratch is probably best left to those with some real training and experience, but you can come pretty dang close to a craft cocktail experience at home by using…
The Perfect Denim Jumpsuit
· Know When to Keep it Simple ·
Simple is not synonymous with boring. Hopefully by now you accept that as a given. I suppose you could argue that a fitted denim jumpsuit isn’t exactly simple, but in my wardrobe, a one-piece look is about as minimal as it gets. The challenge, unsurprisingly, is not to go overboard with the rest of the…
Vintage Statement Sweater
· Keep Your Look Fresh by Mixing Patterns ·
There’s a delicate balance you need to perfect in order to really make a statement piece work in your wardrobe. If you do it wrong, it wears you, and no one wants to play second banana to even a special vintage sweater. I absolutely love this chunky colorful little number (which is, of course, a…
Whatever You Are Capable Of, Let It Be Enough
· Every One of Us Has A Role to Play ·
The last weeks, and especially days, have been tough. I have been getting kind of sad. I’ve been feeling like there is, in effect, virtually nothing I can do for myself, my friends, my family, or for my employer that feels like it has much meaning in a bigger sense of what was happening in…
So, “The Worst” Happened. Now What?
· You Only Fail If You Give Up ·
You learn much more about yourself by how you fail than you do by accomplishing even a small victory. I know there’s many of us in this moment who are incredibly anxious, even scared. Whether “the worst” has already happened to you during our current global crisis, or whether you are one of millions who…
