On the last night of my Daddy’s wake, my brothers and I shared a few words with family and friends, who shared in our grief, celebrated our father’s life, and told us of the wonderful man he was to them when he was still alive.

A Year of (Un)learning
words from mae’s “Our Love is a Painted Picture” A year ago, today, I left my 12-year job in digital publishing, where I was working for a website I considered my life’s work. I lived and breathed our website for the better part of that decade. That meant the brand was basically my lifeblood. When I was suddenly without a…

13 Going On 30

Weekend Report
This week has been pretty toxic. I’ve been sick all week, but I’ve been trying to mask it by taking medicine, which I usually don’t do.

For a really short work week, this sure felt like the longest one yet. Here’s hoping I survive the rest of September, because it certainly feels like I’m in…
