In My Life… When I grow up…
I don’t think one is ever technically “grown up”. I think that the process of growing up is continual throughout a person’s lifetime and the possibilities are infinite. Sometimes they come from nowhere, sometimes from each other, and sometimes from the possibilities of others. But whatever way you have it, it’s truly exciting and always inspirational.
Here is my list. When I grow up….
I...

A Fine line between Picky and Not Settling
Right now I’m single because I know what I want and I refuse to settle. Finally. And proudly. I’ve always been (and stayed) in my relationships (both serious and casual) because I really didn’t have anything else better to do or anyone else more worthy of dating. I settled. I compromised because I honestly used to think that settling was the best option—that you most likely had to end up...

Insomnia has owned me. All night. Up and down. Back and forth. My brain will not rest. Am I stressed? Yes, but in a good way. Excited? Definitely, obviously in a good way. Anxious? Hell yes, let’s get this life moving-but again, IN A GOOD WAY. Good things happen and the paradox that is my life continues…I don’t get it. Yet. But I’m working on it. Because clearly, I have a...

Work out at least 5 times a week
Learn to meditate
Read 5 books a month
Become involved in some sort of charity/volunteer work
Start riding horses again
Start painting again
Be better with keeping in touch with old and current friends
Take a big trip
But above all of these things (of course they will hopefully...
My Pancreas, an Update
So, after 5 tumultuous years, they may have finally healed me! Without being too optimistic, I’m really thinking positively about the last few weeks and my recent pancreatic stent placement. Although the ERCP that is required to do the stent placement sent me into a horrible pancreatic attack, after 16 days in the hospital, through both Christmas and New Years, I was finally able to come...
Resolutions for life.
I got this in an email…absolutely love…

What a single girl should get herself for the...
Let’s face it. It should not be any pity party when you are single around the holidays. Sure, you may feel a little left out and maybe a little jealous that your best friend just got the exact same necklace you’ve been pining over from Tiffany’s, but why not buy yourself a little something this year? This is my Top 5 items a single girl should buy or do for herself this Christmas:
5) Why not...

Toxic...
One of the biggest problems I’ve had with relationships is that the context I approached them from was too narrow. I thought that getting (and keeping) a relationship was the goal. There was little room for growth or flux within the relationship. My idea of love, romance and even casual friendship was rigid and unyielding. Toxic, thin “love” was the addiction and my prospective...
Words to live by...
So my mom and I have been spending hours (okay maybe not hours, but many minutes) looking up old friends, neighbors, etc. on Facebook. We once knew a Ryan. (last name goes unmentioned, it’s not really relative anyway) Mom clicks on who she thinks is the right person and proceeds to reads his “About Me” and it goes as follows:
“There isn’t really that much to know...

What is your Jersey Shore Nickname? →
Put in your name, fist pump and find out! My name? Last Call. HA thanks but not in years. I think maybe I should take that as a hint, no?
That being said, Jersey Shore is out of control. To be honest, it is way too tacky to even try and enjoy. “Everyone loves a guido.” No honey. The idea of a South Jersey/Staten Island shore-loving guido male is truly my idea of a nightmare. AND THOSE...
Loving the Journey…. No one said it would be easy!
I’m taking the plunge and starting up my very own blog. Yes, I know, so cliché, everyone has a blog now, but I think that’s all the reason for me to have my own little place of chronicles and confessions. At the very least it may be a succession of updates on life’s endeavors, but ideally a source of inspirational relativity to anyone else experiencing something atypical of life’s normal or more...

1. I guess I’ve had both moral and organizational issues with blogging… Explanation: I’ve always kept an array of different sorts of physical journals, art notebooks, notes/updates on Facebook, and various other methods of getmyselfoutthere. It stressed me out. In an attempt to simplify my life and force my internal self to adhere to a single outlook on life (that second part right...
