Dec 03, 2011DO: acknowledge it The past few days I found myself in a bit of a funk. I felt out of it and I was getting down on myself for feeling out of it. I’m typically a pretty upbeat happy person, so when I get like this, it’s really unsettling. My mind quickly shoots to, how (…) Read more »
A Walk in the Woods
Nov 29, 2011I am 100% without a doubt a summer person – I love the heat, I love the sun and the feeling of freedom that hangs in the humid air, even though you still have work. But I will admit, there is no better time of year for a good weekend hike than the fall. The (…) Read more »
Blogger Diary: A Thanksgiving Feast
Nov 28, 2011I love Thanksgiving. It’s one of the holidays that my family does best – centered on good food and warm sentiments. Each year, my mother wakes up at the crack of dawn to get cooking – something she’s been doing ever since she was eight years old. She starts with the pies – so when (…) Read more »

Nov 26, 2011DO: eat the leftover pie. It’s not often that there is homemade pie within reach. Just eat it. Eat it and enjoy it. Tell your nagging conscience that FP Naomi said it was okay… (…) Read more »
Blogger Diary: Birthdays and Photography
Nov 21, 2011“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?” My birthday was last week… its funny how as you get older, you start to worry about birthdays more, and want to acknowledge them less.

Nov 19, 2011DO: work together. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much human beings rely on each other. From random acts of kindness on behalf of a stranger, to the everyday support and warmth we receive from friends and family, we’d be utterly lost without each other. Think of how nice it is when you (…) Read more »
Blogger’s Diary – The sweet scent of Fall
Nov 14, 2011This weekend I enjoyed the feeling of Fall, the leaves have turned all fiery here in Philly. The rustic leaves brings a vintage feel, a feeling of age and decay that I’m drawn to; throughout my life I’ve loved the juxtaposition of the beautiful and the ugly finding old buildings and seeing the beauty in (…) Read more »

Nov 12, 2011DO: go see a matinee I love going to the movie theaters. The whole experience from handing your ticket to the usher and finding a seat, to diving completely into a movie is enchanting. There’s something about the larger than life image and surrounding sound that pulls you into the story in a way that (…) Read more »

Nov 05, 2011DO: Embrace your “youness” Some people seem to have it down pat. They are who they are with no inhibitions. Others don’t come by it as easily. I surely used to be more of the latter type when it came to letting myself just be. I held back and as a result, at times felt (…) Read more »

Oct 29, 2011DO: sleep in Sometimes you just need to sleep in and not feel an ounce of guilt about it. Life is go go go, and there are ten million things you want to do. It’s easy to forget how exhausted you are sometimes. Or maybe you take note, but that doesn’t stop you from packing (…) Read more »
