WHY OUR CHILDHOOD MAKES US CRY

Two words. Julie Andrews. Ok, she may not be the culprit for you, but let me explain. Recently, my living room television has been inundated with nothing but songs and cinematic snaps of “The Sound of Music”. At first I just thought it was a good diversion from "Moana" and “Night at The Museum” because those were my daughter’s previous obsessions, but the other night while cooking garlic chicken, I caught myself watching her watch “The Sound Of Music”. And then I caught myself crying real tears into sautéed garlic. Tears of wonder. Tears of dreams. Tears of my childhood.

HOME IS WHERE THE WIFI IS

Home is where the wifi is. Right? Or the good linens.

Considering we have guests often, (which makes me all kinds of happy considering I have no family here), and the holidays are upon us (4 months till Christmas, yep), I've partnered with Macy's to cozy up the guest room and I've got all the details here. And lucky for you, it's all on major sale. 

THE WORLD IS NOT YOUR FRIEND

Life hurts today. It just does. No filter. No emoji. No coffee with happy pill additives. Today just sucks. It feels like shit. And there’s nothing I can do about it except this. Wipe my tears, accept the sucky-ness and move on. The sooner we learn this, the better off we’ll be. You see, nobody has it perfect. Or easy. The world is not your friend. It doesn’t owe you any favors. It’s unpredictable. And the only way to have life beat, is to stick your face right to it and face it head on.
