I spent a good part of the weekend de-cluttering, both literally and figuratively. Eliminating a piece of furniture and its contents (vhs tapes), as well as packing up a ton of cds which are already stored in my iTunes, gave me a great sense of accomplishment and helped me to begin a new week in … Continue reading Stewing

Scrambled
I like eggs. Poached, over-easy, sunny-side up, baked, boiled and, of course, scrambled. I think eating a couple of fresh eggs a week is an easy way to add important protein, minerals and vitamins to my diet and damn, it's so easy! This morning I was feeling like something soft and creamy so the natural … Continue reading Scrambled

For the rest of you coffee dependent folks out there, just a reminder that my favorite coffee place, Porto Rico Importers in NYC is having one of their two big annual … Continue reading Coffee time
Looking Ahead
I guess I could be curled up in a little ball right now, practicing deep breathing as I attempt to clarify what I'm feeling and thinking, but, it really isn't my style. While challenging situations aren't something I purposefully seek out, I have to believe they happen for a reason, and I find that often, … Continue reading Looking Ahead
