It's just the worst when a day is ruined so early. I'm already done with Saturday.

What a Day.
Any by 'day,' I mean 24 hours. Coolest thing I've done in 2018: Attended a private rehearsal of Vivaldi's Four Seasons by the Charlotte Symphony, accompanied/led by Aisslinn Novsky. It was incredibly intimate—only 33 people in attendance—and so moving to get to watch the musicians rehearse beautiful music together. Really tops for me. Which set … Continue reading What a Day.
Doing All The Things
Day 4 has both all the things going on, and nothing at all. In the morning I'm scrambling to wrap something up, then dead space until an afternoon of meetings and a night full of events. And I know I shouldn't complain about it—it certainly beats being swamped all day and running behind. But sometimes … Continue reading Doing All The Things
Here We Go Again.
At least I made it to the office today, if just for a bit. I wrote, caught up on outstanding client requests, and started new projects. I swear just after the holidays is the worst time to try to finish up proposals. But alas, I was productive between my corporate job and my freelance gig. … Continue reading Here We Go Again.
Day 2
Well 2018 is off to a rousing start. A night of basically no sleep thanks to a combo of stress and noisy neighbors. I'm currently trying to salvage my first impressions of 2018 by going on a run and getting a head start on some writing assignments. And, you know, writing something down. So, positive … Continue reading Day 2
Recap/Restart
And just like that, another year has passed. The last year brought many changes for me, both personally and professionally. I met my current other half, decided to take my affinity for beer seriously, and started a new job—which was the hardest part for me. I made new friends and traveled often. I'm not one … Continue reading Recap/Restart
New York, New York
It finally happened. I found my way to New York City (by way of The Classic East). On a very, very early flight—but we explored as much as you can possibly do in four days. Times Square, Rockefeller Center (for the Nintendo Store, obviously), the UN headquarters, Bryant Park, near the Empire State Building, Central … Continue reading New York, New York
Transition
I think it's safe to say my transition to my new role has been slightly bumpy. In the simplest terms, I'm currently trying to figure out how to work without access to any work email. It's going great. It got me thinking about people in other fields who don't rely on email as much. My … Continue reading Transition
Moving On.
No one really likes to do it. Most of the time we say we're over things, but out of no where you'll feel a tinge of regret and feelings come flooding back. Currently I'm trying to move on--specifically from my time as a magazine editor. Which tends to be difficult when you still have two … Continue reading Moving On.
On Exercise and Mental Health
https://www.instagram.com/p/BUP8Ad_DVm5/?taken-by=cltfive I have never been a huge fan of exercising. I danced for 18 years, and while it is exercise, it didn't seem like it to me. I didn't go to a gym for it, I wasn't running laps, and it was fun. It was my extra-curricular. Over the past year, I've finally gotten to … Continue reading On Exercise and Mental Health
