“Because every time I doubt the future, every time I doubt myself, every time I doubt my ability to love and be loved I need to be proven wrong, to renew my faith in myself and in other people. I need to believe that life has a million romances in store for me, the ones that give me children and stress headaches and something to do with my 401K, the ones that keep me out drinking way past my...

60 days

My May and June are looking very busy. Lots of good things going on - weddings, a half marathon, graduations, birthdays, holidays, etc. In 60 days, my love returns to the United States. I’m so glad it’s May.

Sometimes I feel like I have no one to talk to....

Yesterday I walked four miles round trip to my yoga class in the morning and ran 12 miles in the afternoon. (I do not have a disorder. I weigh about 130lbs and eat at least 3 times a day. Example: I had Chipotle for dinner yesterday and it was glorious.)

Auf Auf! sagt der Fuchs zum Hasen... hörst du...

My grandfather turned 94 last week. He always said this to my sister and I to wake us up in the mornings. (“Up, up! Said the fox to the hare, can’t you hear the hunters calling?”)

Gardens of Unearthly Delights →

“Marina Warner pursues the enigmas of imaginative desires in The Arabian Nights” I really want to read this book. Even the review is beautifully written. I’ve been interested in the connection between magic, alchemy, and science for a while. Recently I went to the Love & Devotion - From Persia & Beyond exhibit at the State Library of Victoria in Australia. It was cool....

I told my cousin that I got Jane Eyre and Atlas...

He goes, “the books?” And suddenly I realized they were, in fact, both books. I have read Atlas Shrugged but not Jane Eyre. I took AP Lang instead of AP Lit, back in the day. “No,” I said. “The movies.” “Oh. I guess I won’t tell you my opinion on Jane Eyre then.”

I was able to touch my toes in yoga class tonight.

If you know me, you’ll know I haven’t ever been able to touch my toes. I am very happy.

Life Lessons From Bo

bohemea: 1. Make Eye Contact I cannot stress enough how important I feel it is to look someone in the eye. Everyone. From your loved ones to store clerks & bank tellers. Treat everyone like your equal. I also find eye contact immensely attractive. It shows you’re assured & open & I dig that. 2.
