Eight Weeks and Counting
Of all the beings I’ve met so far since my move to Puerto Rico, I’ve only met one creature that has so much in common with me. For example, Diego and I live in the same adorable neighborhood, neither of us are remotely fluent in Puerto Rican Spanish, we are the only two people in…

Puerto Rico
While I recover from a week of traveling and a rather large and looming project that is due at the end of next week, my random thoughts from last week’s excursion will have to suffice. More to come… First 24 hours in Puerto Rico: 1. It was not a fluke. I truly love a humid,…

The Tiny Ho Has Landed…Again?
*** August 14, 2023 “Has the tiny ho landed yet?” Yes, Nick, the tiny ho has landed. *** If you didn’t read the very first post on this blog, you won’t understand that short and ridiculous conversation, but basically it was one of my sassy friends messaging me last August the day I moved to…

Dear Ralph Lauren aka PixieHood of the Traveling Pants
(I don’t know, it’s a play on Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) Don’t worry, this post isn’t just for Ralph, you can read it too. The high level topic seems rather inconsequential – first-world, if you will – but let me explain. It’s deeper than you think. While this is an ode to a pair…

Things & Stuff
I love to find patterns in everything – except my clothing. Patterns in human and animal behavior keep me safe, patterns at work keep me employed with less room for insanity to creep in. Though I’m not bad during an unannounced fire drill (aka dying patient) which is why I was good working in emergency…

Listless
I have a close friend who feels the need to send a group text to me and our third “Musketeer,” informing us of everything she’s doing on certain days. She doesn’t do this every day, but regularly feels the need to share. These aren’t grocery lists or task lists. Rather, it’s a summary of everything…

Women Who Run With Wolves
“You can love her with everything you have and she still won’t belong to you. She will run wild with you, beside you with every step but let me tell you something about women who run with wolves, their fierce hearts don’t settle between walls and their instinct is stronger than upbringing.” – Nikki Rowe…

Settling In?
That is not a great title. We all know I won’t be settling into the desert ever again. The tropical jungles, rainforests and Caribbean Sea agreed with me. That is an understatement. My whole being came alive, heart, soul and the rest. My skin had never looked better and that humidity takes at least ten…

Abundant
aka Jobs That Don’t Suck Despite how misleading my last post could seem after you read this one, it’s not. It’s all in your head, just like where I perceive I am is all in mine. Everything I write is 1000% true. Last time I told us all to find “that thing” that sets our…

Mo Moments
Let me be very clear: Mo Moments are absolutely NOT the same as Kevin Moments – if you’ll recall that scenario. The only similarity between the two is that I have to regulate my emotions, but the set of emotions involved in each respective “moment,” are completely different from each other. Is either one better…

In the Heart of the Real Jungle, and the Urban Jungle
“The wilderness is a place that every believer has to experience to be molded for their divine purpose.” E’yen A. Gardner I don’t exactly know what Armin was trying to tell me Friday morning, because of his rapid dialect and my limited brain cells trying to grasp it; and, because I was sobbing and hugging…

Sundays in Paradise
Sundays can be real fuckers. Before this journey it was because I was anxious and unhappy to start the corporate America work week each Monday. When I lived on an island in Belize it was because we had an increase in humans then and the tourists went apeshit on the weekends. Now, I honestly can’t…
