Since February 8, I have resided in Sacramento, CA. I’m taking care of the house and Airbnb of some dear family friends, and I leave in a few days. A month and a half gone by, and, as always, I’ve had my fair share of musings given my abundance of solitude and free time. So,Continue reading “Sacramento Diaries”

A Slovenian Summer
Back in March, my sister found herself bored in class the week after my brother got married. Upon browsing Expedia, she texted me about some cheap tickets to Europe. Later that night, over a three-hour long FaceTime session, her and I, along with my parents, purchased some very inexpensive flights to Vienna. Four months later,Continue reading “A Slovenian Summer”
My Little Corner of the World Pt. 3
My internship with D Magazine ended last week. The editors took me to lunch, I ate an outstanding BLT, and drove home that day feeling little-to-nothing about this chapter closing.

I did not expect any of it! Truly! And I was very touched by the gesture. I’ve always likedContinue reading “My Little Corner of the World”
The Lord is Near
The leaves in Texas are finally changing colors — rapidly, too. I’ve never been big into fall. I’m more of spring girl. However, as I observe the trees and the way the sunlight hits their leaves, I understand all the hullabaloo about fall. It truly is beautiful. I wrote that paragraph nearly a month ago,Continue reading “The Lord is Near”
23 and me
As I pour milk, call out customer names, and giggle with co-workers behind the counter of my beloved Starbucks, Francesca Battistelli belts out a familiar tune in the speakers above me. When I first began at this little store three years ago, the music was deafeningly loud. I enjoyed it that way because I learnedContinue reading “23 and me”
