I don’t know what it is about celebrities that can get us all in a twitter. To be honest, we could bestow the status on any of our friends because how great is it to see your friends (especially if it’s been weeks or months or years). But instead we pick common blokes and gals… Continue reading NYC- The celebrity of food

NYC: Siblings
Tonight after a networking event, I hooked up with my best friend Kathi’s sister Kim. The highlight of the evening consisted of sitting in Dylan’s Candy Bar sipping frozen hot chocolates and talking about being single and spiritual in the urban jungle. We laughed and found ourselves in a similar season of our lives. It’s… Continue reading NYC: Siblings
NYC: 5 Things Tonight
1. I almost saw a fist fight break out between my buddy Charles and a union electrician. 2. Tomorrow commences day 1 of foodie extravaganza; will keep eyes open for celebrity sightings. 3. Walking around Time Square at night in multitudes of people makes me smile. 4. An event during said walk reminded me of… Continue reading NYC: 5 Things Tonight
NYC- Old Friends and David Burke
Tonight, after work, I met up with my friends Julie and Chris over at David Burke, Bloomingdales. My colleague Charlie had introduced me to it during one of our last forays in town and it is without a doubt a great meal priced at a phenomenal value (read prix fixe at $24.07 for 3 courses).… Continue reading NYC- Old Friends and David Burke
Red Letter
Every once in a while we all experience weeks like this one. Today was extra special too. We were on our feet for almost 14 hours, but a few things made today extra-special. — One of my poetry teachers emailed me today. They responded that they were glad to hear I had requested them as… Continue reading Red Letter
For love of carpet
I am waking up at 4 a.m. to try to catch a standby flight to Chicago. “Why?” you may ask. For carpeting. See the last tradeshow we went to accidentally received our carpet squares, though they weren’t on the packing list. Said carpet squares never made it back in time to ship in the crates… Continue reading For love of carpet
France: A Lesson in Faith, part trois
The concert helped spread the word about the new church through a sign mounted on an easel and also mentioned by J. as he talked after the songs, describing what they meant / the author / the spiritual connotation. He was approached by people during the intermission applauding him for contributing art to the city’s… Continue reading France: A Lesson in Faith, part trois
France: A Lesson in Faith, part deux
The airplane climbed through the clouds, ushering me to Saint Raphael, where I would meet up with my two teammates, Katy and Cheryl to prayerwalk and prepare for a concert in the Cote d’Azur. The week started with some bumps, namely, rain. It rained the first morning and then was chased away that afternoon as… Continue reading France: A Lesson in Faith, part deux
France: A Lesson in Faith, part un
We returned from a week-long trip to France to catch a vision of what God is doing and wants to do in a small town located on the Cote d’Azur. From the beginning, this trip was an exercise in faith-building 101. Mike had challenged us to consider the yes stowed away in our hearts that… Continue reading France: A Lesson in Faith, part un
Chicago: Shuttling about
I woke this morning at 4 a.m. and my little eyes are crescent moons right now, squeezed so the necessary amount of light filters in so I can type. And get in bed I will, but first, I wanted to say a few things: — Chicago is in the 60s and tomorrow it will be… Continue reading Chicago: Shuttling about
