Welcome to the blog

On Friday afternoon, happy hour was conveniently scheduled around my bedtime, and I found the best parking spot for seventy five cents, so I was already winning. As soon as I walked into Pub Fiction , I had the sales rep to the Metro Rail trying to sell me a lifetime of Metro Fare cards. […]

This past weekend was everything I needed in the past few weeks. No worries about makeup or hairspray. I enjoyed silent moments, giggles, burst out loud laughs, I love yous exchanged from tent to tent, and reflections about our lives. I sat along the lakefront, listening to the waves collide with the concrete walls, I […]

I’m trying to live life, go with the flow, be spontaneous, say yes to vacations by the beach and an umbrella drink, Selena outfits, camping outdoors with real tents, eating out of tupperware as we roast marshmallows, hiking, biking… You are your own limitation.

I am afraid to forget. I miss eating out at random ethnic restaurants with red and white tiled floors or mismatching plates. I still love pizza and eat it more than ever. I love ice cream just as much but don’t eat it as often. I miss the visits to Ross or Target. I miss […]

It’s ten o’clock on a Saturday night; my sisters and I are enjoying a car ride with my niece singing along to “kiss the girl.” I couldn’t ask for a better set of sisters to enjoy this ride of life. Looking back at our lives and skimming through the happy and sad memories we shared […]

Five months ago, I knew the direction of my life. I was someone’s yin-yang, balance, better half, lethal weapon. My best friend, knew the power I possessed, something I am oblivious about.

My fondest memory of my sister is one of her when she was in elementary. She was usually the tallest girl in class, and the happiest. Everyday after school, she would walk home, with the most genuine, innocent smile. That’s how I still remember her. As my baby sister. I hope you enjoy every bit […]

Uninspired, unmotivated, directionless…Monday evening my nephew saved me from another night of binge watching on Netflix. Out of the ordinary, he calls me, and asked about my day. Really I wanted to reply, “kind of sh**ty.” I use to beg for a normal life…less work hours, more time to focus on dreams, more travel time, […]

We are 30 days into 2015, the best I can do is worry because that’s what I’m good at. Oh and making list in my mind before I sleep. The past few days the sound of wine pouring into my glass, the sun warming my face on the car ride home, movies with two star […]

A few months ago, my sister started making scarves and hats as gifts for us, so I wanted to tell her story. For her, this is a small first step closer to her dreams and goals. Because big dreams require big dreamers and people who believe in you, my sisters, Ish-shah, Carolina, and I decided […]
