Long time, no write

Well hello there!

I have written in my blog in the past month, but I have privatized all those entries. Perhaps I’m still a little too timid to have anything controversial or heated attached to my name.

My friend said something really great to me the other day. “You’re doing this because you want to start something, and you know it’s something people need. Others are doing this because they want to get 30 under 30 or something like that”

That touched me, because all I hope, is to live a genuine life for me and myself. It’d be great if I could get on 30 under 30, but I would never sacrifice my beliefs and dreams just to get a title like that. Titles, prestige, money, shouldn’t ever be compromised for who you are.

Anyway, my golden birthday was yesterday. Funny how you dream of having such a great party or event for your golden birthday, and then when it does happen, it’s the quietest little celebration ever. I went to Olive Garden with Derek (my 11 year old brother) and had spaghetti and meatballs and split a chocolate ganache cake which Derek devoured.

It’s funny how companies remember your birthday oh so well. Especially those in which you belong to their loyalty programs. Sephora, Ulta, Soup Plantation, Panera, Starbucks, Peet’s… all remembered my birthday
