  • Wondering what happened to that particular plan? I wrote a piece for the folks at Thought Catalog that explains it all.

  • Dear 2010, I’ve had your bags packed and waiting by the door for weeks now, but you haven’t been taking the hint.  I don’t think I can make the fact that you’ve overstayed your welcome any clearer. Photo by hellojenuine To put it inelegantly, you’ve kicked the crap out of me on just about every…

  • Maybe it’s because family has been on my mind this week. Or maybe it’s because my mother just celebrated a birthday a couple of days ago and my father will celebrate one in less than a month. Or maybe it’s because I’ve been reading about other people’s less than idyllic upbringings and feeling pretty flippin’…

  • Photo by ginnerobot New post tomorrow. In the interim, I thought I’d update you on a couple of new projects. Firstly, I’m joining RAW as their personal finance and career management expert-ish type. The site hasn’t officially launched yet, but feel free to poke around.  And no, I will not start using the word tribe. …

  • Eons ago (okay, more like a couple of months), I enlisted the very talented Jennette Fulda at Make My Blog Pretty to whip me up a cute little vanity site.

  • I am not very good at waiting. Never have been. And lately, I’ve been doing a lot of waiting. A lot. Boomerangs that I’ve tossed out and now it’s up to the universe to return them. Photo by Bondseye I wasn’t one of those kids who kicked the back of the seat and kept asking,…

  • List Served is a semi-regular feature wherein I present you with an ordered grouping of (at least tangentially) related points. I love lists and the internet loves ephemeral minutiae. It’s all good. These are the things that I do when I’m trying to avoid writing a piece/am stalled at a particular point/have dramatically decided Scarlett…

  • Nope. The title isn’t a typo. So, I haven’t been in the best mood lately. Just scuff your foot in the dirt bummed out more or less. Heave a big sigh and throw your bag on the chair instead of hanging it up because the world is mean, so why should you bother with niceties?…

  • Imagine 25 people (strangers, even) all staring at you while they throw out words and terms to describe their perceptions of you and then more words and terms for areas you need to work on. And you just have to sit there and absorb it. That was my Sunday. It was challenging. Not because I…

  • Lately, I’ve been working on some other writing.  Writing that’s more in the vein of literary non-fiction essays and writing that I plan to pull together into a something. Maybe a something with a cover and pages and page numbers, dig? I thought I would share a little excerpt of it with you. Reactions via…
