Lately my focus has been on fun and genuine enjoyment. I feel like we spend so much of our time fulfilling obligations, meeting requirements. For work, general upkeep, paying the bills, living in late-stage capitalism when our bodies want to relax and enjoy ourselves is hard. We live in a time where it’s common toContinue reading “Fun”

Must-have travel items
top 10 must-haves when traveling. Gift ideas for yourself or your favorite globe-trotter.
A Puerto Rican Dream
A few months ago, feeling burnt out and tired, I started thinking of going on a trip. It had been about two years since I’ve traveled. And for someone who used to travel ALL the time, both for business and pleasure, that was a long time. I was determined to give myself a dream vacation. Continue reading “A Puerto Rican Dream”
Dance Recital
Last night, for the first time in over 10 years, I performed in a dance recital. Those are words I never thought I’d write. When I was a kid, I never thought I’d be done dancing. And as an adult who had stopped dancing, for quite some time, I wouldn’t anticipate that I’d be writingContinue reading “Dance Recital”
Dreary
The last few days have been rainy, cold, dreary. The cold weather plus the eclipse season has got me feeling a bit down. I feel like I want to crawl under the covers and hibernate for some time. But it’s not just the last few days. I’ve had a lingering feeling of apathy, a generalContinue reading “Dreary”
A moment in Autumn
A moment in autumn I sat at the top of the mountain (hill) and thought, yes, stunning. I knew this was exactly what I needed even before I got here, I enjoyed the satisfaction in knowing that I was right – a short hike in the woods, a sunny spot with a view. Perfect. AndContinue reading “A moment in Autumn”
Dance Again
It had been nearly nine years since I danced. Well, that’s not entirely true. I’d danced in my kitchen, at concerts, with friends after a class or two of wine, at weddings, I even tried latin dance classes and zumba. I’d never actually stopped dancing. But it had been nearly nine years since I tookContinue reading “Dance Again”
Avoiding the Trap
I’m writing this blog not because I feel particularly chatty, but because I’m trying to write regardless of how I feel in that particular moment. I actually feel like I am the opposite of chatty and friendly. I’m exhausted and a bit broken once again. I am once again going through a new season inContinue reading “Avoiding the Trap”
Finding Time
The other day was hard. It’s harder to be when you feel that your time isn’t yours. After not having health insurance for over a year, I finally scheduled a doctor’s visit. I don’t recommend doing that, by the way, your anxiety will increase simply because anytime anything happens with your body, you have toContinue reading “Finding Time”
Back Again
I haven’t written in a while. Mostly because I don’t feel I have done anything note worthy, which isn’t entirely true. I’ve written about this feeling before. This feeling of non-accomplishment resonates again. The world has started back up again and we are hurled into the grind. Despite the slow down of two years ago,Continue reading “Back Again”
