Some days, hanging out on my chair with my soft blanket, soft pillow and some snacks with a large, chilled glass of water is all I want. I woke up early and got my workout in. At least that's done! Got my grocery shopping done and then headed home to relax, hard core. I worked… Continue reading Musings

WWBD?
You ever have one of those days where you struggle to maintain yourself? I define myself as a positive person, one who believes that people are good and someone who strives to make at least one other person's day a little bit better. Today, I had a hard time being that person, but am happy… Continue reading WWBD?
Lifted Spirits
Are you ever supremely surprised by what can randomly lift your spirits? On August 2nd, my friends and I found ourselves at the Lincoln Center Out of Doors free concert called Liza with a Z. We go to these concerts in Lincoln Center every year. They are so much fun, and really just another item… Continue reading Lifted Spirits
Theatre, theatre, what happened to the theatre?
The other day, I went to a Broadway show with my friend C.L. Now, for those of you who don't know me, I was basically raised by movie musicals and the dream of Broadway. The stories, the music, the dancing... I was a small child entranced. What I am trying to say is that I… Continue reading Theatre, theatre, what happened to the theatre?
Reading is fun!
Not necessarily a revelation. Recently the majority of my reading has had to do with studying. Most anything really. I've been studying on CRBNE, ICS and NIMS protocols and I've also been putting together a study guide for myself for the Critical Care RN Certification test. My prime directives recently have been to focus on… Continue reading Reading is fun!
My Kitchen
Tonight I spent some much needed, therapeutic time in my kitchen. I don't know why, but I had been absent from this sacred space. Lack of time? Exhaustion? Who can really tell. Today, I walked through the grocery store and picked up food that makes me happy: salmon, potatoes, mushrooms. My grandmother used to make… Continue reading My Kitchen
Medicine for the Heart
Hi friends and followers! I know it's been a while since I've written. I had some feelings akin to writer's block as well as a sense of wonderment about whether or not you actually wanted to hear my musings at all. Probably happens to most blog writers. I had fallen in an artistic hole, if… Continue reading Medicine for the Heart
Recent travels and musings
So it's been a while since I wrote. As those of you who may follow my blog know, I just went on a 10 day cruise with my mom, my aunt and her husband, otherwise known as my uncle. We went to the Caribbean! Places I've always wanted to see. I love to travel. Traveling… Continue reading Recent travels and musings
On travel (and pre-travel!)
I love traveling. It's such a simple statement but to me it floods me with memory after memory. My taste buds even have memories of delicious moments. Some that pop into my mind include pizza in Sicily, goat cheese croquettes in Barcelona and the crisp, cold, refreshing taste of Icelandic beer in Reykjavik. Two years… Continue reading On travel (and pre-travel!)
Fancy Free
Today, I had the good pleasure to enjoy an exhibit at The New York Public Library with some friends of mine who used to be my professors during my first degree. Peggy and David always contact me to see them when they come to town and I'm always delighted too. The exhibit is called "Voice… Continue reading Fancy Free
