Why does it always look so easy when you watch it on the Food Network? Hell, those chefs can whip up a whole dinner in 30 minutes while talking to a camera and not one swear word comes out of their mouth. How is that possible? For the first time in years I had my […]
Maybe I didn’t quit my job, sell everything I owned, and took off to be a nomadic traveler and writer due to a mid-life crisis at 36 years old. Maybe this crazy need to wander and experience new things is in my genes…literally. A friend recently sent me this article about the travel gene and […]
Someone just hit the power button to my brain and my mind flickers on and boots up for a moment at 3:43AM. I feel uneasy, confused, panicked. I open my eyes to inky darkness. I can’t see. My mind races like it’s an Indy car going from 0 to 60 mph in 2 seconds. I’m […]
Today – September 8, 2014 marks 8 full years of wandering the globe nomadically for me. It’s a special day that I like to stop and think about where I’ve come, how I’ve changed, and where I’m going. However I’m not going to reflect upon that here as it all needs time to resonate. Instead […]

I started my morning sitting on a lounge chair with a cup of coffee at 7am experiencing absolutely nothing. Cedar Lake was completely still. No wind, no sound, no neighbors – nothing. It’s quite a contrast from my old life – the life I left behind 7 years ago in NYC. Seven years ago I […]
“What – you’ve never heard someone make trumpet sounds out of the side of their mouth before?” She said with an accusing tone. “Um…no” I answered – and then smiled and went back to working on my writing. However at this point I was distracted with thoughts of the silly Lisa Lubin and her trumpet […]
