A sadness has hit me recently, and with it the desire to read a good, cry-inducing book. I’m a very private person and disclosing my feelings, even with close friends and family, is incredibly difficult for me. Having a solitary cry over a book seems a much more acceptable (and less vulnerable) form of expressing […] Read more…

Heavenly Pizza Pie
Let me preface this post by saying I really don’t like pizza. I rarely eat it and I’m not one of those people who gets excited when there’s pizza at a party, or when your work orders it in as a treat for the staff. I almost detest it, actually. But this was before I […] Read more…
Indian Delights
One recent rainy day, Kara and I went to the gym and treated ourselves afterward with a trip to Shalimar, Kara’s recommendation as the best Indian restaurant in San Francisco. It was an amazing meal worthy of Kara’s high praise. If you enjoy these photos, you should check out the ones Kara took for her […] Read more…
Wandering Chinatown

There is nothing quite like walking along the beach on a sunny day with the wind blowing through your hair.

Apple Walnut Salad
Summer is almost here in San Francisco, and with the arrival of warmer weather I always crave fresh, light meals that are simple to make. My mom’s apple walnut salad fit the bill nicely yesterday afternoon. Don’t freak out, but there’s mayonnaise involved (and that’s a good thing). Read more…
Unlearning Multitasking
As someone who has spent the last few years working in the communications industry, multitasking has not just been an essential part of my job, but something seen as a badge of honor by my peers. I remember when I was first looking for a job in the field and I strategically placed multitasking at […] Read more…
Becoming a Lone Wolf
The more I work on simplifying and honing in on my key goals, the more I realize how little time I have and how precious a resource it is. With that in mind, I’ve decided I need to go into hiding for a little while. It’s time to be a lone wolf. I’m in a […] Read more…
Pros and Cons of Audio Books
After a positive experience with a few audio books that a friend gave me, I decided to sign up for Amazon-owned Audible and see if it would help me get focused on my reading goals for the year. Reading is incredibly important to me – I think it’s a vital mechanism for broadening my mind […] Read more…
