Unrealistic Friendspecations
As a single, 30-something who was living in New York until a short time ago, I relate to the beloved TV show, Friends, on so many levels. Too many to count. There is no show that means so much to me and has influenced my life the way Friends has (with Seinfeld coming in at…

A House Divided
No, I’m not talking about the current state of American politics. I’m talking about Star Wars. I am an…avid lover of Star Wars, this you know. So is my cousin. But when it comes to The Force Awakens we have vastly differing opinions. Mine is one of love and effervescence, his of skepticism and tentative…

Something Magical Happened, But I Can’t Show You
Last week can only be described as amazing, soul-refreshing and down right exciting. You already saw my solo adventures at not one, but all four of Disney World’s theme parks. But here’s the part I didn’t show you. I actually can’t show you. See…my phone died right after I ate what looked like a delicious Mickey…

None of My Business
“Always remember that people’s judgements about you are none of your business.” -Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic I’m sad to say that I spent years of my young life letting other people’s opinions, judgements, unsolicited “advice,” etc. effect not only my choices, but my personal view, how I saw myself, what I believed I was capable…

Lizzie’s Solo Ride
I LOVE Disney. If you’ve been reading me for any length of time, you know this. That being said, I’ve never done Disney on my own before. I’ve always gone with friends or family. And the day is usually very mapped out. Everyone has their top picks and there is lots to cover in a…

Heartbeats
Stop what you’re doing. Just for a moment…stop. Reach out your hand, doesn’t matter which one. Take the opposite hand and press two fingers to your wrist. Press hard till you can feel your pulse…your heartbeat. That gentle tick tock tick tock. If you can’t find it there, reach up to where your chin meets…

I Don’t Know About You…
I don’t know about you, but whenever a horrific tragedy, like what took place this weekend in Orlando…my city, takes place it’s hard for me to collect my thoughts. If my thoughts could be seen they’d look like this… ANGER SADNESS PRAYER WHY GOD back to ANGER a little more SADNESS And when I sit…

Having a Moment
I was recently described by someone as “busy…in a good way.” As in, always working, always going, always doing, always trying. I do think of that as a good thing. I like to stay busy. I like to think of new projects to try, new songs to write, new blogs to post, new Instagram challenges…
