My husband and I bought a house in the mountains earlier this month. Since this is a second home, we can’t just move all of our existing furniture and other household items into it. Instead, we have to (get to?) buy all new (to us) things to furnish it and…
A Thanksgiving Throwback
I don’t know about you, but when it comes to this upcoming Thanksgiving break, I’m comin’ in hot. So instead of writing something new today, I’m going to re-post something I wrote last Thanksgiving (even though it’s a little outdated). And no, it’s not about being grateful. Happy Thanksgiving and…
BoJack Wisdom
My husband is going to make fun of me for this post. He had been trying to get me to watch BoJack Horseman since it came out. I resisted…until last week. And then I watched the entire first season. In one of the last episodes, BoJack asks the ghostwriter of…
Celebrating Successes
It was a wonderful weekend, wasn’t it? I’ve known for quite some time that I don’t celebrate successes enough.

Work it.
On Monday, while I was scrolling through my Instagram feed, three different posts from three different people I follow stopped me because they all had the same message. Peloton’s Robin Arzon (@robinnyc) said, “Don’t worry about if your work is being noticed. When your moves are big enough, they’re watching.”…
Decisions, decisions
I’ve been consuming a lot of content about decision-making lately. From the newsletters I read to the podcasts I listen to, people are talking about the difficulty of making decisions in increasingly uncertain times. I’m no expert decision-maker. I agonize over some decisions all the time (hey, I was raised…
FOMO, JOMO & ROSY
via GIPHY Here’s yet another COVID-related post for you. My husband and I were having socially-distanced drinks in our friends’ backyard over the weekend, and we were talking about our larger group of friends and all of the things they did together over the summer. Because my husband and I…
Time without action
It’s clear that people are tired of living this pandemic lifestyle. They’re over the masks, the distancing, the staying at home. And I get it. I’m sick of it, too. But I’m committed to continuing to live this pandemic lifestyle because the situation hasn’t improved. In fact, where I am,…
Vacation, all I ever wanted
via GIPHY This is the time of year that my husband and I usually take our annual vacation. We like it because it coincides with our anniversary and his birthday, most of our colleagues are in the office and able to cover for us because they took their vacations over…
