There was an article in the New York Times this weekend about the latest crop of Carrie Bradshaw-wannabes, who chronicle their dating lives and hope to land their own Mr. Big. The article made me smile because for as long as Sex and the City has been around, so have a slew of “real-life” Carries, [...]

I came across a post on John Mayer’s blog this morning. In it, he talks about the disease of self-consciousness, although what I think he’s really talking about is the over-reaching effects of ego identification.
We live in a culture that celebrates mediocrity and he’s right when he says that we’ve all grown up being told [...]

I’m reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle (yes, I know Oprah’s big on it right now.) Anyway, I find the book rather interesting when it comes to ideas of ego, enlightenment and evolution. It’s worth picking up, if you like the whole New Age-y spiritual thing.
Yesterday, I read this sentence in the book, “The [...]

My (first) wedding was in Costa Rica in December. I arranged everything when it came to where everyone was staying, meals, drinks, activities, the wedding itself, for one week for 20 people. (If you’ve ever done something comparable, you know how difficult it is.) All people essentially had to do was buy a plane ticket [...]

I have amazing guy friends. Across the board, my male friends (gay, straight, coupled, single) have always been kind, supportive, non-judgmental and all-around cool, treating me with plenty of love and respect. But for some reason, I haven’t had as much luck with my girlfriends. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got some wonderful girlfriends [...]

Aarggh… It’s 11:15 and I just woke up. Nothing makes me feel lazier than getting out of bed past 9 am. I’m usually an early riser, but with the 6-hour time difference and my not having to start work until everyone else is up in NYC, there’s no motivation for me to jump up and [...]
