“Mom!!” I scream into my phone as I drive away from Red Mountain Resort under the sinking Utah sun. “Something has happened!” “Are you OK? What is it? Where are you?” Entirely breathless, I launch into the past two days at Red Mountain. The desperation. The reiki. The shamanic healing. “And now … something isContinue reading “Hello, universe”

The career cross-road
When it came time for my one-year anniversary with my company this past winter, I went in, ready to ask for a raise and full-time status. Despite the fact that, only a few months earlier, when I was suffering from horrific jet lag, my bosses informed me I would no longer be able to takeContinue reading “The career cross-road”
Screw you, jet lag
It’s 3:14 a.m. I’m wide awake. My heart is racing. My stomach is turning. I’ve been awake for an hour. Every time I close my eyes and try to sleep, my mind sets off on a wild tangent. It curses my body for not being able to fall asleep. It relives my time with theContinue reading “Screw you, jet lag”
Drink your water … and other tips to survive a Vegas Vacation
Editors Note: This post was not intended for my site. I wrote it because I accepted a bid on TextBrokers.com, a site which unites writers with those who need writing. I submitted it, was paid for it, and then saw someone else had actually taken credit for my words.

The San Francisco Foodgasm: Off the Grid
Living in Las Vegas means there are tons of amazing food options. You name it, we’ve got it. Five-star restaurants. Michelin rated. Celeb chefs with numerous outlets across town. But, what we don’t have a lot of is food trucks. Yes, there are some. Las Vegas has, what you could say, a burgeoning street foodContinue reading “The San Francisco Foodgasm: Off the Grid”
A Virgin America Virgin
I could see the purple glow before I even got close to the door of the plane. Oh, sweet Virgin America airplane. How I have waited for you. Slowly, slowly, we crawled in our line to the cabin door. Sparkles!! The exterior of the airplane is glittery white! I crossed into the cabin, surveying theContinue reading “A Virgin America Virgin”
Hello, California. You are a lovely neighbor.
I have lived in Las Vegas for basically five years. Sure, I had that year in Atlanta I like to refer to as the Catalyst for the Rest of my Life. And my career-break/adventure through Europe and Africa. But, basically, the place I have called home since 2005 is Las Vegas. You’d think living inContinue reading “Hello, California. You are a lovely neighbor.”
The Las Vegas Foodgasm: Wicked Spoon
Katie and I wandered through the halls of Cosmopolitan’s second floor, en route to Wicked Spoon, passing by tourists posing inside of larger-than-life shoes and walls adorned with art. We were on a mission: stuff our faces with good eats at the hotel’s much-praised buffet, Wicked Spoon. I’ve already confessed, I’m no foodie, but afterContinue reading “The Las Vegas Foodgasm: Wicked Spoon”
The Las Vegas Foodgasm: An Introduction
I have a confession: I am not a foodie. Foie gras does not make me weak in the knees. It is only recently that I have developed a taste for cheese (and it’s got to be really bougie cheese at that) and steak (same deal … has to be super good). Hell, to be quiteContinue reading “The Las Vegas Foodgasm: An Introduction”
Interview: Adrenaline Living
I had the pleasure today of being interviewed by Angelia Miller on her Adrenaline Living Talk Show. It’s my first interview, and quite a change from being the person pitching to the person being interviewed. If you have the time, give it a listen. It’s insight into quitting your job, traveling and my experiences travelingContinue reading “Interview: Adrenaline Living”
