Do you ever want to rip out the cable, smash the Wi-fi router, delete all your social media apps, and throw your smartphone through the window? Yes, exactly. Me, too. The thing is, I never do. I always tell myself that it’s because I have a “brand” and an “online presence” so truly “unplugging” would... Continue Reading →
It’s been a hot minute since I posted anything here on the blog, and I’ve been really sad about this. But now I’m back on a new day with some thoughts on how to remedy this! My big problem during the last month and half was that I felt like all my life priorities had... Continue Reading →
This time last year I opened Gmail to find a truly mind blowing arrival. An email from the YouTube staff letting me know that I had been chosen for YouTube NextUp NY’s inaugural class. The email was sent on March 31st, and it basically had to say “This isn’t an early April Fool’s joke! You... Continue Reading →

Parents, friends, teachers were in awe of the creative ideas or projects I would come up with and praise me for my unique way of thinking. And today, while I still work hard to produce lots of creative... Continue Reading →
Changing my life has been a big theme in 2016. Well...I feel like it was a theme in 2015 too, but a somewhat failed one. Or at least, it’s just taken me a lot longer to change the general circumstances of my life than I anticipated. Do you ever get frustrated feeling like the rest... Continue Reading →
Admittedly, I procrastinated on writing this blog. I had the “aha!” moment, but for some reason I just couldn’t sit down and write it out. I’ve been doing that a lot recently.
