Autumn in NYC
This weekend was one of those ones that make you glad you live in the Northeast... I love the fall! Instead of blabbering on about my weekend, I am going to tell the story with a photo-essay

On being spontaneous
So, let's get something clear - I am not spontaneous.
Nope. I'm a planner. A worrier. A perseverater. Yes, I do think about what I'll eat for breakfast when I'm 60.
The good news is - I am really good at planning. Like really good.
It’s the little things
When I walked up, the students told me about Delicata winter squash and swiss chard and about all the hot peppers that I could taste, right then and there. If I dared.
Here is my ‘Dear Life’
Dear Life –
I’ve been hesitant to write you because I wasn’t sure how I felt about you. I knew believed you were giving me “gifts” – but they sure didn’t feel like gifts – all that struggle and messiness?! Come on now - what kind of gifts are those?!
But now… now I think I’m getting it. And I think that I’m ready to say thank you.
thank you life
Fellow blogger, hiker, lover-of-mountains-and-wild-places, portland-er, and fabulous writer Kim has had a weekly post focused on thanking life for all of it's greatness.
Solo travel in India
I spent two months traveling alone in India. This fact is not groundbreaking. No one is writing a book about me. I am not the first to have done this, and nor will I be the last.
But lately, I have been thinking of it a lot due to all the news coming out of India of sexual harassment (here is a good synopsis of some of the reports). But, like a lot of women, my experience in India was overwhelmingly positive.
Playground for adults
I've decided that NYC is just one big playground for adults. Sure, there are jobs and Times Square (please make me never go back there) and plays and all the other stuff that tourists visit. And then there is the fun for the rest of us! It's amazing really.
California dreamin’
My job was to stay awake. But that was so hard.... between the jetlag and being up late and rising early, (oh, and being really good at falling asleep in the car), I kept nodding off. Fortunately, with my brother having fun driving his new toy car, and my need to press the brake on my side, it was probably better I nodded off.
Local wanderings
Last weekend, I spent an afternoon wandering Greenpoint with a friend. Even though I am coming up on my one-year anniversary in NYC, there is still so much more to explore. I am finding my way around these days, and can somewhat navigate the subway system, but there is still so much more to explore!
