My home is tightly edited. I have an absurd amount of collections & possessions, but I feel quite strongly about the purpose they serve. However this uber organization doesn’t prevent me from recognizing when it is time to let go of the past and knowing how to document it for its future. Atop my microwave sits a display of tiny toys, ... read more
My 21st birthday was a couple of days ago and I was kindly sent a bunch of lovely yellow roses from my thoughtful & considerate office manager. This is the 2nd time I’ve received flowers purchased online. The 1st time the flowers were DOA. The UPS delivery was late on a Friday night and they remained locked in super’s office until Monday when ... read more
Once a week I attend an aqua fitness bootcamp at the Y across the street from my apartment. It's an eclectic group of aquatic exercise enthusiasts and the last place I expected to be hooking & booking clients. Given that we're a small & gabby group, talk of the transformative effect my work lends itself to discussing other elements of my ... read more

This month I did something completely uncharacteristic - I vacationed in the same location 2x. The fact that I repeated a travel destination more than 2x ever is unheard of much less in the same calendar year. I'm completely enamored by Charleston's mix of colorful history, inventive cuisine & tattooed mixologists. New & old blend ... read more
Holy guacamole - it has been a minute since I wrote a blog post. Not that I don't have a gazillion ideas and every intention of posting them, I just have been a very busy business owner. Which I suppose has fared well because I have been receiving a ton of awesome emails from other businesses that are watching what I am doing, reading the blog, ... read more
It has been an obscenely long time since I posted. To say I've been busy with client work is an understatement, but I wasn't too busy to have the rare opportunity to observe this woman deliberate over the merits of my recently discarded tv stand. (It had been striped it of all its crafty charm prior to leaving it in the building's trash ... read more
I used to date a guy who never knew what day of the week it was or what date of the month or quite possibly what month we were presently living in. As someone who has built a career because I have an uncontrollable compulsion for detailed organization, I thought his inability to be aware of time was ludicrous. Until today when I showed up at ... read more
I have extolled the mastery of the nail technicians at Sakura Nail Spa in New York City in previous posts and their creative application never ceases to amaze. Around last Christmas, my manicurist of many years showed an Instagram image of my beloved bulldog, Little Bit to a visiting technician from the Tokyo location. He (yes, that is correct ... read more
For those that know me well or even met me once probably know that I like things neat & tidy. A messy desk is my kryptonite, but I am coming to terms that a little disorganization gives you the opportunity to organize. Chaos requires order, but unless there is chaos, order isn't truly being achieved. I had decided to go through 12 old work ... read more
