The Law of Conservation of Hope

Hey rockstars,  I hope you’ve all been well. A few updates from me. Since it’s LinkedIn official, I guess I can make it official here too: I’ve started my MBA and I’m super excited about it. I’ll only be doing it part-time, and I started 2 weeks ago and love it so far. Second, some…

Time Passes but Kind People Remain

Hey rockstars, To everyone affected by this latest snowstorm: I hope you’re staying safe and warm. Yesterday I went to my friend Cait’s wedding in Philly! Cait was one of my best friends when we both went to Drexel for our first year of law school. I ended up leaving to move to DC but…

Forever a Child

Hey rockstars,  So I wrote this blog post last night, but then promptly fell asleep before I could upload it. So oops. Anyway, earlier this week Katie and I realized we are massively overdue for BFF time, so we decided to get sushi from this place we’ve always admired from afar. Everyone in this sushi…

“Stay Closer to Things that Make you Feel Better”

Hey rockstars, I’ve been wanting to blog for a while now. I always have these half-formed ideas that hit me while driving, in the shower, or in the middle of a task. I tell myself, “Oh my god, this is it! I’m going to blog about this”—and then I promptly forget it. But right now,…

Molecules, String Lights, Living Extraordinarily

Happy 2026 rockstars! We have officially completed the 26-hour global roll-over into the new year, and it is 2026 for everyone. I love going on Instagram on New Year’s Eve because my friends in different time zones share their fireworks, champagne toasts, midnight kisses hours before I even think about turning on the TV to…

Tuesday Check-in: Blooms and A Check In from My Corner of the World

Hey rockstars,  Happy Tuesday! As 2025 comes to a close, it’s time to take a breath and do a little inventory of our lives. So this past weekend I had a phone conversation about being confident and happy. It’s funny because whenever someone says I’m confident, I don’t really believe them? But I do know…

“I remember” is Another Way to Say “I love you”

Hey rockstars,  Like so many posts before, this was inspired by an Instagram reflection (shocking, I know. But isn’t it nice that I’m so predictable?). A guy named Preston Rakovsky, who shares incredibly vulnerable and real posts about what love means, recently showed up on my “For You” page, and I’m so glad he did….

Do not ask me: “What do you do?”

“So, what do you do?”  They expect me to talk about my profession and my source of income. They expect me to name my job and career as if it explains my entire identity. And I, like a fool, give them exactly what they’re looking for: “Oh, I’m a lawyer!” But what I really want…

Rent-Free Poem Week (Rogue Two): Bookmark Near the End

Hey heartbreakers, In addition to my weeks of rent-free poem week, I did a standalone post a little while back, called “Like I Would an Old Friend” because I had been inspired to write but was out of tune with the week. This post is similar — rent-free poem week is over — hence Rogue…
