So, let’s talk about it…
So I guess the first thing we should talk about is who I am and why, for the love of God why, am I writing a blog when there are already millions in existence? (And really, I mean it because I went and looked it up – 31 million in the USA alone, 600 million worldwide!)
Why?
I’m writing because I have stuff I want to say. I don’t know if it is necessarily brilliant or scintillating or even inspiring, but it’s my stuff and I want to express it. AND, I need some where to put it other than the hold file in my brain – its been getting kind of crowded in there lately.
And I like the idea of doing it here, and I hope you do too. It feels bravely public yet gentle and kind – because if you don’t like it, you never have to read it!
Hence – a blog.
Who?
The “who” Q is a tougher one, because that is still a work in progress. To that end though, I will share a few data points, labels really, with you that you may already know or will otherwise deduce from my random thoughts and commentaries! These may cause some of you to think you know what I think or how I feel but I promise you, I’m less predicable than my labels so don’t put too much weight on those being dispositive, but think of them rather as filters. In fact, maybe knowing these elements will even make my scattered thoughts less scattered? You will have to be the judge of that!
Among other things, I am a:
- A Christian
- A Woman
- A nice Italian girl from New Jersey
- A daughter, a sister, an auntie, a God-mama, a friend
- An Attorney
- A Gardener
- A Blogger (my newest label!)

So, let’s talk about where I have been! Its not a very sexy or exciting answer. Yet, I thought that before March actually, officially and finally escaped me (and honestly, as I type that, I can’t even believe that its true?!), I’d stop by and say hello to the 3 of you that might be …
LOVE
So lets talk about love, because I love LOVE! Don’t you? I know – how could you not? Since it is Valentine’s Day, I feel compelled to call out the joy that is love. (Not to mention, all these ridiculously precious Daisy AND Heart pictures? I’m swooning and just had to post them!) What do …
You always have a choice
So let’s talk about something else I say a lot: “you always have a choice”. It’s a really simple but powerful concept to remember that there are always options. Now right off the bat I can imagine some of you thinking that the spiked my coffee this morning, or began happy hour early because you …
Decisions, decisions, decisions!
So, lets talk about this thing I do where I “try on” my ideas as a fundamental part of my decision making process. I’m a big fan! When I need to make a decision, I think about the objective and act as if its already in effect. Things like: “Oh, did I tell you I …
