“From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.”  – A E S C H Y L U S Ever since I could remember, I’ve been visualizing. As a young girl in elementary school, I used to be the last person to finish reading. I blame my creative mind, which would wander to exciting places mid-sentence (side note: still happens). The only spot I truly loved was the art room – probably because it was the only place […]

“Well-behaved women rarely make history.” -LAUREL T H A T C H E R ULRICH January in Los Angeles this year could be best described as a monsoon. Okay, maybe that’s a little hyperbolized. Nevertheless, we’ve had uncharacteristic amounts of rain this month. With our current drought-ridden situation, we’re quite consoled by the rainfall. As a result, LA has been refreshed with greenery resembling the Pantone color of the year. (Well-played M. Nature). For instance, this week it’s rained 5 out […]

Head over to SURREALITY || Part I for a recap on how Mitch and I met __________ (Past Reflection) The day began with an overcast dreariness that kept me in bed an extra hour. My conscious and subconscious minds intertwine as I replay the final moments of last night’s dream. I watch myself fearlessly walk through a dark space that I now recognize to be a haunted house. Suddenly reality kicks in and all traces of fear […]

“Poker is a fascinating, wonderful, intricate adventure on the high seas of human nature.” – David A. Daniel The notion of one man’s trash as another’s treasure is far from unusual to me. I mean, let’s be honest, you can’t share the same name with Captain Morgan and not have some of the same qualities. In a debate, he and I would probably not see eye to eye on our idea of ‘treasure.’ We would agree […]

“The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine, or the slowest form of poison.” – Ann Wigmore I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for all the positive feedback I received on this pizza I made last week (I’m talkin’ to you over there Reem drooling all over your computer). I decided to pay it forward by sharing the recipe I originally found on Cookie and Kate, but with […]

I’d rather be honest and authentic and disappoint some people than to exhaust myself trying to keep up the façade of perfection. – Crystal Paine | MAV MANTRA | I have a right to speak my truth This week, all the signs pointed to this notion of authenticity. This reminder to always remain true to who you are is not a value new to me; rather it resides at the top of my list. However, having it tested simultaneously in […]

“Do what you love and find what brings you joy. If you are unsure, make it a point to ask yourself because I’ve come to find, as you commit to your personal joy, you begin to attract an outpour of joyful moments, merely because you radiate that essence.”  – MORGAN RYAN In some shape or form, my New York roots shine through in all I do. Since moving to Los Angeles, I found myself occasionally bending my […]

Happiness Is A Day With You When I’m with you,  I don’t need a whole lot.  When I’m with you, We make due with what we got. When I’m with you, You make me a little better When I’m with you, I stop counting the hours of the day. When I’m with you  Everyday is a vacay. When I’m with you, I feel alive and new It’s sad but true But when I’m without you  My […]

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” -Albert Camus This weekend provided a taste for what I believe Summer 2015 has in store. The weather was hot, the nights were long, and the vibes were strong. Let the good times roll on, like the rockin’ sea below. Cheers to another weekend in paradise; this is only the beginning.
