On the butter-yellow staircase at Poet’s House, I always take a moment to pause. The staircase leads on to a room I wish I had discovered earlier, with book nooks and wide tables overlooking the water. The building is in an unlikely spot down by Wall Street, and I got a chance to revisit only […]
This week, I have a piece out in CultureStrike on transnational adoption. It’s a very personal piece and it took a lot of work to put together (thanks, Michelle!) so please give it a read. Now, back to the action. A mala (floral necklace) made of red roses, orange and yellow accent flowers. I’ve left […]
Armed with a cell phone camera and my wits about me this weekend, here are some of the sights I took in whilst making my way through DC. The President (this time of the United States) makes a guest appearance in these shots – though I do wish I had a better zoom on my […]
Something that I have to remind myself of every day I take off: the meaning of relaxation is to not to think about its end. This vacation has been about that principle in a lot of ways – staying in the present and enjoying the minutes, forgetting (or at least being ok with the idea […]
My real Thanksgiving occurred the day after the “official” date. All the things that you’d want out of Thanksgiving – friends, great food, laughter, and all those things that are cliched and yet so important because we don’t get them that often in our daily lives.I slept in till 11:30am, which was the strangest feeling […]

(my SOCLR graphic – click to actually read!) I want to describe my SOCLR experience in a series of experiences, similar to the way I have previously described New York. 1. First day, waiting for the bus, lugging too much stuff, I am aided by a kind (and stronger) hand.2. I almost cry on multiple […]
Today I am embarking on a restorative weekend. No cell phone reception, select internet, and a completely different location than my urban Manhattan lifestyle. (I know, quel horreur!)So, for this weekend, I will probably be putting up posts that are more descriptive than analytical, but we’ll see how it goes. Let’s get on to the […]
These ones were total randomness – they come from every place and every day! These were from Snoqualmie Falls – so beautiful… Check out some more posts featuring my photography.
So, it’s been a crazy summer sojourn since I was last here – I have been out literally every day since school got out… it feels so strange that it was only two weeks ago, and yet every day has been so filled that it seems as if it were yesterday. Hmm.I have put graduation […]
