Letting Go: The Hardest Donation I’ve Ever Made
Today I took an enormous carload (literally packed from floor to ceiling ) of clothes to charity. I know it probably sounds simple, but it was honestly one of the hardest things I’ve done in a really long time. Handing over those bags felt like letting go of pieces of myself. And now, I’ll be Continue reading

The Great Closet Purge
I decided to completely annihilate my wardrobe. Like, everything came out. Every hanger. Every bin. Every drawer. My living room is basically a fabric apocalypse right now. We’re talking over twenty years of clothes. Some of it belonged to my mom but most of it’s mine and they represent my moods, my body changes, and Continue reading

Sunday Night at Jazz Alley
Sunday night was such a phenomenal experience. I went to Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley in Seattle to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. They were electric. I’ve always been a big jazz fan but seeing them live was something else. The energy was contagious, the music was popping, and I couldn’t help but dance along in my Continue reading

I Can’t Get Enough of The Police
I absolutely love The Police! They’re one of my favorite bands in the world! Sting is pure genius and the way their music blends complexity with such irresistible fun blows me away every time. Their songs are intricate, catchy, a little ethereal, and fun to listen to. Honestly, I could get lost in their music Continue reading

The Reset
I had to take the day off today. My stomach has been upset, and I just couldn’t push through it like I usually do. While lying in bed, I realized I’ve fallen back into some old patterns. The kind where I eat out of convenience instead of intention. I’ve been grabbing what’s easy and not Continue reading

Hot Pretzels. Cool Saxophone.
Some days, I just want to disappear into something simple… you know… flour, water, salt, and sugar! Baking has always felt like therapy to me: the kind you don’t have to explain to anyone. This time it was pretzels. I didn’t plan anything special – just a slow, afternoon, a warm oven, and the sound Continue reading

A Night of Opera and Old Glamour
Last night I attended a historic performance at Tacoma’s Pantages Theater; The first part of Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen – Das Rheingold. It was a night filled with music, history, and emotion. But what made it truly special wasn’t just the performance. It was what I decided to wear. I pulled out my old Continue reading

October!
Disclaimer: I fell askeep before I had the opportunity to post this. It is a day late. I can’t believe it’s already October 1. It honestly feels like it was just January. The leaves are changing so quickly into the most beautiful, vibrant jewel tones. I love jewel tones! They’re so elegant and seeing them Continue reading

A Stormy Fall Day and the Façade That’s Cracking
Today turned out to be a really stormy day. It feels like fall now, especially after a warm, sunny weekend. The wind was blowing , the rain was pouring, and the leaves were falling all over the ground. Honestly, it’s kind of beautiful if you actually stop and look. Normally, I’m not a huge fan Continue reading

Living Simply: Finding Coziness in the Old World
Fall is here and the days get shorter, I naturally slow down. Fall and winter have always been seasons that invite me to slow down my pace, to notice, and of course, to make things cozy. I don’t crave anything glossy or modern this time of year. It’s the mismatched, the handmade and the old Continue reading

Dust
They glitter loud in the daylight, their names echo in crowded rooms, their hands collect applause like coins. They live in the sun where eyes always follow, where the air is thick with wanting. And me? I drift like a speck unseen, quiet as ash, soft as twilight, no spotlight to pin me down. But Continue reading

A New Era
I have decided to end one sided relationships. I will no longer invest my energy in people who do not value our connection as much as I do. I refuse to be used to boost someone else’s ego. From now on, I will focus on building relationships that are genuine, authentic, and reciprocal. I desire Continue reading

Four Years Later: Remembering My Mom
Today marks four years since my mom passed away. Four years and yet it feels like it happened yesterday. Her death was sudden, shocking, and completely flipped the world my dad and I knew. She had been having health issues during Covid, and because of the pandemic, she couldn’t get the care she desperately needed. Continue reading

Happy First Day of Fall
(Disclaimer: I meant to post this yesterday but I crashed and slept for 15 hours. So here I am, posting the following day instead. I feel so much better after the long sleep.) I left work early because I just couldn’t push through anymore. I haven’t slept well in two days and my body finally Continue reading
