I am sitting in a semi-lit hotel room thinking and the thoughts are like words being spoken aloud. But perhaps that’s my dramatic way of listening to the air conditioning. I had dinner with a friend tonight at my favorite Afghani find from last year. Kiernan (with such a cool name) got me thinking. I… Continue reading Awake and up to no good…

So yours truly is now on Getty Images. That’s right, if you type in the correct spelling of my name, it will pull up a photo of me, Nicole and Esai Morales. 2 minutes before the photo was taken ME: Esai, thank you for being a positive force for Latinos in the film industry.

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

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
