It’s Thanksgiving, which largely means expressing thanks for that which you’re grateful. I know most of my posts have been in story form, but I think this one will be a little different because… well, because I can make it different, and for that, I am thankful. It’s my version of ‘because I said so.’…
First, let me start by saying this is one of the most refreshing reads about pregnancy and parenting I’ve ever consumed, not that I’m sitting around reading ‘how to be a parent’ books during my free time, but still… she doesn’t put a rose-colored lens on her experience, which I’m sure so many people will…
Parenting… what do I know about parenting? Short answer… nothing, which is why I’m not going to dive into a post about my experience on the matter. Wait, what if I actually surprised you all and have been raising a kid for the last five years? I suppose I really wouldn’t be in a position…
As you may know, this week, we’ve been discussing beauty; I thought Jenna would be the perfect writer for this topic, as she’s performed for two of Arizona’s professional sports teams, as you’ll see her get into. I remember practicing our Suns audition routine with her at her parents’ house and instantly loving her. So,…

Just so you all know, I put A LOT of pressure on myself when starting these blogs… do I jump in with a sweet ‘hey guys!’ or bust the door open without knocking, like the Kool Aid man? I suppose I prefer the latter. I was talking to some friends last weekend during Friendsgiving about…
“Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another.” -Toni Morrison When Devon asked me to share the story of my divorce, I was initially reluctant because words can only go so far in describing the complexities of my emotions and feelings, which to me, have only become clearer with thoughtful…
Rarely does something so powerfully resonate or explain something I, myself, haven’t been able to put into words. I was watching Fosse Verdon the other night and Bob Fosse (played by Sam Rockwell) is describing his first sexual encounter. For those who don’t know, Bob Fosse was a very famous dancer / choreographer / director;…
I’m sitting outside as I type this, closing my eyes as I feel the mild temperature’d wind against my face, hearing the whisk of cars pass by while a basketball bounces in a neighbor’s backyard. The light blue sky is without a cloud, but I can see the faint remnants of a chemical trail (ugh)……
