  • Paul McCartney

    It would of been wonderful to see Paul McCartney in concert, but I was still unwell, and I rarely attend concerts – they tend to unsettle me – and then there’s the obvious. Still, his is one performance I truly would have made an exception for. The man is nothing short of brilliant. Sincerely, Principal…

  • Take a Picture: Pottery Barn Kids

    Thank you, Pottery Barn Kids, for your generous contributions and donations to the Philharmonic House of Design. Your support truly meant the world to me, and I am forever grateful. And a quiet little note – I once worked at the Mission Viejo location, which makes their generosity all of the more meaningful. A brief…

  • Daily Pilot: The Crowd

  • Grace in the Moments We Don’t Prepare For – Press Release: Philharmonic House Of Design

    I was in the middle of working, completely unprepared for any kind of press or magazine photos. Yet suddenly I’m being asked to show up for a shoot after pulling an all-nighter, exhausted, probably on my period, my face is swollen or reacting to something, and still knowing I have more work to do afterward.…

  • Evlan Trivet – The Perfect Gift

    I’m still captivated by the Evlan Trivet from Ligne Roset. I’d forgotten about it until now, and suddenly the memory feels vivid again. I bought it in 2009, back when I was working for Ligne Roset – and its design has stayed timeless ever since. It’s the perfect gift for me – and for anyone…

  • “A Deceptive Detail You Probably Missed”

    I’ve never had a musician give me free tickets to a concert. Not once. Meanwhile, my family, friends, exes, peers – even business acquaintances – have all gotten free to tickets to shows because of knowing me. It’s interesting, isn’t it? A pattern like that says something – and it’s worth thinking about. Rolling my…

  • Anxiety Under Control

    I’m on steady ground. I’ve gone back to therapy, and my anxiety is under control. I’m not taking medication, nor do I intend to – my current approach is serving me well. The issue was never an internal flaw; it was the harm others caused and the impact it left behind. That’s why I’m back…

  • The Aftermath

    Pneumonia, Influenza A, and a double ear infection have left me raw. Illness has a way of stripping you down – one moment I’m sentimental, soft, almost nostalgic… and the next I’m thinking, “This person is unbearable.” It’s not who I am; it’s what being worn down does to me. I hope this guides you…

  • Where Sunday Begins, Laughter Follows

    Whatever your Sunday brings, let it be touched by laughter and softened by love. Everything else fades into insignificance. And on Sundays, I grant no one the privilege of defining how a life should be lived. Love the lady that finds her elegance in sunlight, soft laughter, and a perfect brunch.
