.america did what america does.
My good friend Ella, who lives in Germany, asked how I was doing this morning. I told her I was upset and had a lot of thoughts, and she encouraged me to write them down. This isn’t a piece I want to be sitting on. It’s basically a diary entry. I’m posting it for myself…

Eine kleine Katze namens Tobias
My husband and I will move to a town just outside Munich. Currently, my husband has an apartment in Bayreuth, and I have one in Philadelphia. We’re looking forward to living in a home we can call “ours.” My biggest concern with this move to Germany has been my cat, Tobias. Tobias came into my…

.burnout.
I don’t know how my mother did it. For over 30 years, she commuted 1.5-2 hours to New York, worked 8 hours, and then traveled 1.5-2 hours back to our Central NJ home. My mother would do this Monday-Friday and still manage to cook dinner for the family and take me to voice lessons and…

Beauty and My Body
Here I go, writing another extremely personal blog post, but I assume this is what I’ll be doing every few months. I usually try to avoid conversations about my body. I feel like I get a lot of questions that I’m not comfortable enough to answer, or maybe I haven’t come to terms with. Either…
