SO much has happened since I last published here. I started the year in India visiting my in-laws. I attended the wedding of one of my best friends from college in New Jersey and then flew to Wyoming to celebrate the birthday of another best friend. I’ve been slowly learning to ski. I completed a month long road trip which included ten national parks visits. February has always felt full of potential for me. The days are sharp and cold and once the sun sets my mind goes and goes. In January I...

So much to catch up on after the holiday week! I've been wanting to write a post focused on hosting for a while. Bringing people together for meals is one of my greatest joys, and I've learned some important lessons and tips over years of hosting gatherings. :) Get yourself ready first - Prioritize taking care of yourself before guests arrive. Enjoy a cup of coffee, get dressed in a comfortable outfit, and have a big glass of water nearby at all times during prep. Delight is more memorable th...

Sharing something I’ve created is always such a vulnerable process, whether it be a series of photos, a v...

My desk in autumn 🍁 I was talking with some friends recently about why I love seasons: seasons impact my awareness of how time passes. I enjoy how the constant change makes each month feel distinct. The weather impacts what I wear and eat and how I structure my day. Every season is a return to habits and traditions that I've missed. Growing up in New England, my sister and I would excitedly pull out winter coats from vacuum sealed bags in November, search for tiny green sprouts in the snow i...

I took a hiatus from being online for the last couple weeks because I've been focused on editing my manuscript. It feels good to be back! Autumn is one of my favorite seasons and I have so many photos that I want to share! 🍁My morning routine: I usually make coffee and then head straight outside in my pajamas and sit on the porch. Lately it’s been cool enough to pull on a cozy sweatshirt! I like to collect fallen leaves every day while the colors are still vivid and press them in between the...

I joined Farcaster just under a month ago. After setting up my account, I followed ~50 suggested people so conversations would populate in my feed. Right away I noticed that the content was very technical and developer-focused. It felt akin to a language immersion experience for me - a lot of new vo
