Falling In Love..

I have fallen in love. I have fallen in love with the streets of a city, the buildings that create stories, the people who pass by, the ocean as it kisses the sand hello, and the moon as it pulls her away. I have fallen in love many times, and because of this- I have…

The Christmas List

“I need your list…” my mother threatens me again as if that will make me suddenly create a list in my mind of materialistic items I desire.  Sure, I could probably come up with a list of fashionable, practical, designer and beautiful things that would be nice to have. But, I don’t need any of it.…

Dance Teacher Love.

“When I grow up, I want to be a dance teacher just like you!” Camryn, a four year old at my new studio came into class, grinning ear to ear and ecstatically informed me of her newest decision. Little phrases like this are a common frequency in the day of the life of a dance…

So Long Sweet Summer.

What a week it’s already been. First, let me just say the clique “how amazing is fall?!” Is there anything more beautifully ironic than the last summer kiss of the bright and bold colors of the dying autumn leaves? I feel like I ask that question a lot; is there anything better? I hope that just…

23 Things I Learned at 23.

Why is everyone always hatin’ on twenty-three? I for one thought it was a fabulous year. Old enough to be considered an “adult” yet still in the early twenties category so you can get away with things. Literally caught somewhere in the middle of your early twenties, twenty three is freakin’ awesome. I can’t even…

Searching For Forever.

Late night lasagna, wine and good friends almost always leads to one thing; good conversation. And this night was no different. On the menu for conversation- “We aren’t meant to be with one person forever.” The two males were set on this thought- we weren’t meant to be monogamous. I was completely caught off guard…

Get Up and Go.

When I was 19 years old I thought I was going through a mid-life crisis. I wasn’t happy with how college was going, I couldn’t decide on a career path, and my restless heart had me constantly looking around at someplace to go and something new to see. This was the end of my sophomore year…

We’re All Mad Here

Summertime is almost here! It’s time to say buh-bye to those winter blues, bust out the ‘ole sunnies and slap on that sunscreen. The days are longer, the weather is nicer and people are just plain ole more fun to be around. Oh, and for us that may be slightly insane, summertime means one thing…

Pesky Feelings.

When you haven’t fallen in quite some time it’s scary when you wake up and realize that maybe, just maybe, you could be falling again. I’m not sure I am prepared for this. I don’t want to feel these feelings again. I’m fine being alone, really. No one to let you down. No one to worry…

Friends All Around.

Over the course of a lifetime you meet a ton of people. As the cliché goes; “some come in your life for a moment, for a year, or for a lifetime” Or, to some extent. And it’s true- people filter in and out of our lives but each and every one serves a purpose. As…
