I had a hankering for brussels sprouts yesterday, so much so that I drove to Trader Joe’s on a whim. My biggest decision was should I buy whole sprouts or shaved sprouts?

Six months after Paul died in 2014, I moved into a tiny house in the Art District in Garden City. 480 square feet cocooned me in a blanket as I grieved for months. It was perfect back then, a small space to make my own, a small space that allowed me the luxury of not... Continue Reading →

Damn, just damnit. The passing of a friend before her time is weighing heavy on me since Friday. Not why but what the heck. Why are we so damn afraid of death? Isn’t it the circle of life? Isn’t death inevitable? We cry and mourn, and the experience weighs heavy on our shoulders. We also... Continue Reading →
