Trying to rejoin the 5am writing club, the perks of which include catching Golden morning light and having the entire cafe to yourself.

Currently in motion with a lot of exciting projects - poetry, art, essays and a book idea that has taken a new s

When the world feels just a little normal again ✨

Breathing deeply to stave off anxiety today and this little spot of late evening summer sunlight brought me back.

I often wish things were more simple, that life were more simple, and I am always reminded that it can be.

I love travel because of the culture clash and level of discomfort it can bring to daily life, opening your eyes to new ways of living… but sometimes the best of things can be found in your own backyard and America has some of the best landsca

Ladies and gentlemen in this week’s edition of What I’m Drinking, I present to you the Snoop Cali-Red by 19 Crimes.

This red blend from California was surprisingly good. Usually I try to avoid packaging with the faces of celebrities on

It has been a whirlwind week of wedding prep and wedding (I’m married!!). Big thanks to the Robles clan, my now in-laws, for all their hard work bringing this beautiful and dreamy day to life in their backyard.

From girlfriend to wife in one

Well hello guys and dolls it’s that time again - another installment of “what I’m drinking”.

This week the temperature in Seattle has surpassed 80 degrees which means I am in my happy place while the rest of the city is conv

Another poem I found in my notes app, from April.

Does anyone else find themselves stressed or overwhelmed or feeling a little chaotic and just need a perfectly quiet moment away from all the noise (both inside and out)?

This week in “What I’m Drinking” we have another local-to-Washington wine; the Eclipse Red Blend from Palouse Winery - and if my personal opinion is to be trusted, one of the best wineries in the State.

What can I say? This wine i

I found this poem in my notes app today, written a few months back just after midnight. And goodness isn’t to so true the way fear can manipulate good and wonderful things into seeming like scary and impossible things. The everyday struggle: mo

After a week’s break, we are now back to our regularly scheduled wine content.🍷 In today’s episode of “What I’m Drinking” we have a 2017 Barbera D’Alba from the Oddero Estate in Italy. 🇮🇹 And if you know me at a

Had a very fun and busy week in my favorite city, with days spent working and, evenings spent celebrating and cocktail-ing and saying goodbye to bachelorette hood. 🌹 👰🏼&zwj;♀️Never enough time for all the people I want to hug and all the things I

Here we are again with another inexpert tasting for a series which is quickly becoming “Wine Wednesdays”, but folks, I’m here for it.

Today we have a local to Washington Cabernet Savingon, made with grapes from Stillwater Creek Vi

I have been working - FOR WEEKS- on an essay about my relationship with marriage; what it means to me, and what it represents in both practical and soulful terms now that I no longer identify as part of the evangelical church - or any religion, reall

You didn’t ask for it, but here it is anyway: a new series called “What I’m drinking” where I share what I am drinking, followed by my inexpert taste opinions. Today we have a biodynamic riesling from Troon Vineyard in Oregon

My heart still aches. When I think of that time.
When that song by Daughter comes on and memories of grilled cheese and wine in that railroad apartment in the East Village flood my mind.

And even now that I have found a love that is deep and true a

I always dream in dresses.

Have you ever had a dream
that when you woke felt
so real you were sure that magic,
truly, does exist in our world?

I can tell you I have dreamed of giants.
Of terror and sacrifice and pain.

your voice and breath, without
the balance of you.
