Loving and living this life in Seattle
Through no fault of its own, Valentine’s Day has become the holiday that people love to hate. Sure, it is a highly commercialized exercise in romantic displays and overtures. The pressure to get it right is stress-inducing and things rarely live up to the hype we place on the day. But that is no reason …
I read something the other day that said middle age is not 50 as we commonly say. Rather, it’s more between 38-45 because the life expectancy of the average person is 75-90 and not 100. Most people don’t live to be 100. Talk about a gut punch of reality! Before I go any further down …
The older you get, the more you struggle with time management. Adulthood is just super full of obligations and a bunch of “have-tos” that quite frankly none of us asked for. And if we did, we didn’t know the full extent of what was going to be required of us. I don’t have to tell …
Have you ever been a tourist in your own city? Visiting guests provide the perfect opportunity for you to remember all the things that make your city cool.

The outbreak of the coronavirus, aka COVID-19, aka “The Rona” (I love my people), has led to widespread isolation as we collectively work to stop the spread of the virus. After watching it shut down an entire region in China, I’m not sure why we were not better prepared to deal with its arrival, but …
I don’t know how many times I say this in any given month, but you only get one life. And we have no idea how long that life will be. I’ve told you my plan is to live to be at least 111 like Bilbo Baggins. The epic party to be thrown in my honor …
I didn’t do an end of the year recap for 2018 because I was just so glad to see her go.
I know a lot of people believe the lies that women can’t be friends. I don’t know why that is even something people put into the atmosphere. Seriously, the sisterhood is hella strong and has been for a long time.
