Did you realize that last night was a Blue Moon? That means that it was the second full moon in a calendar month, but last night's moon was extra special. Not only was it a blue moon, but it was a blood moon (which means the moon had a red tint) and there was... Continue Reading →
A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
We’re only a few weeks into 2018, but I think A Gentleman in Moscow is a contender for my favorite book of the year! In a lot of ways, this felt like an adult version of Eloise and a more approachable War and Peace. I’m not an experienced Russian novel reader, but I would have easily... Continue Reading →

Abundance – Why I Buy?
2018 is about embracing abundance for me! Today's post is one that feels impossible to write, but I think is necessary to dig into. Inevitably, this will be a sloppy and incomplete essay because I can't seem to figure it out. But I'm going to try and I hope that you will stay with me... Continue Reading →
Goodbye, Vitamin by Rachel Khong
I was surprised by how quickly I finished Goodbye, Vitamin by Rachel Khong. Because it was written in a stream of consciousness with short vignettes, I wasn’t sure if I was going to stick with it. I’d recently started a book that was written in the same style and had to bail. But this was... Continue Reading →

You can read My Tarot Philosophy here, but in a nutshell: I love how interpreting the cards taps into the hidden recesses of my brain.

Weekly Review
What a strange week! We're all continuing to get over a cold that knocked us flat last week, but I want to check in on my week's productivity nonetheless. I've been using my Hobonichi Techo Cousin to religiously track my time spent on various goals. I'm not sure if it's actually going to help me... Continue Reading →
Abundance: Taking Stock of My Hidden Solutions
My 2018 Word of the Year is Abundance and I'm reserving Fridays to explore that concept. I originally chose abundance because I am overwhelmed with the amount of debt and stuff that I have and want to learn to focus on what truly makes me happy without buying things or spending extra money. I'm hoping to... Continue Reading →
The Witches of New York by Ami McKay
I devoured The Witches of New York from the beginning until the end. You all know how much I love a good witchy story and this delivered! Rich in atmosphere and witch lore, this book is not to be missed by those who wish that magic was real. In the 1880s, Adelaide and Eleanor run... Continue Reading →
