Monthly Recap

What’s the best thing that could have happened this month? I became an auntie again! My beautiful friend welcomed an adorable baby boy to the world and that, more than anything, made this month special. I’ve been an auntie for ten months now and it is one of my favorite roles I’ve ever had. I […]

Some months feel like they go by in a flash. This month was LONG. So long that I had to keep checking and making sure I didn’t miss a recap. My weeklong trip to Mexico was undoubtedly a big part of the month, but I also got in a very busy networking week and a

And just like that, 2018 is over. December was a nice way to end it, though. I spent most of my time in New York with a few quickie trips to Texas and Massachusetts via Connecticut, and longer time in Mass over Christmas. Each year, I try to crank out my final posts of the

This month was about…Kenyamerica? It’s hard to define this month as a whole — I spent the first 10 days in Kenya, enjoying the brilliant sunshine, and the final 20 days living a low-key life in the chilly, damp northeast US. That’s how much of my life has been lately. I live a normal life

As October comes to close, I’m feeling a faint dread for what lies ahead. Here begin six months of cold and misery in New York. Six months of winter coats and sludge puddles and not wanting to take any photos in the city except immediately after the snowfall.  I didn’t visit any warm weather destinations

Ah, the most beautiful month of the year has come and gone. The heat finally broke, and the humidity of summer was finally cut with a series of misty green days. I’m no longer waiting on a 110-degree platform at 96th Street; I no longer need the AC on at night. September is historically a

I love this time of year. Here in New York, the long stretchy of humidity is finally being broken up with occasional 75-degree days. The laziness that overpowered my June and July has finally abated. It’s time to make new goals and get back to work — with a pumpkin spice latte in hand. Here’s

July was one of the busiest and most exhausting months of my life — but in a very good way! It seemed like I was scheduled to the last minute, but with so many good activities. This is my third summer in New York. Each year I’ve wanted to have a big, epic New York

Is this the only month of my life that I’ll begin in the Middle East and end in the Caribbean? Maybe, maybe not. But I’m fairly certain it will be the only month I begin in Lebanon and end in St. Croix! This was an extremely busy travel month — far more so than I

What a wild month! Three trips, three countries, one conference, one talk and one panel. I’m typing this from Starbucks in Nicosia, Cyprus, and I’m exhausted. For the past two years or so, I’ve been very good about balancing work and travel (for instance, I’ve kept my travel down to about 25% of the time,
