8230;A NOLA Girl in Chicago. The Best Exotic… Wild and Precious Life. February 17, 2013. What up, bloggy friends? It’s been a wild (and largely fantastic) month or so I’m almost a month into my new job, where I still feel very new and green, and am challenged in new ways every day; ALWAYS leaving with a hilarious story or rainbow-ism of the day. Greatest hits so far:. Being referred to as hey, white lady and girl Tim because I’m one of 2 white women that work here and I replaced a guy named Tim. I also f...

8230;A NOLA Girl in Chicago. Before this; After that. August 9, 2012. Well, admittedly, to say that everything is going perfectly according to plan would be a gross over-statement. But then again, I didn’t. Expect that. Of course, in the perfect world that exists only in my mind, I’d get here and within a week have an apartment, land a great job, be locked in with my 50 newest best friends, and only look back to enjoy a text or chat from a friend/ family member from back home. I came to the conclusion it...

Roots | Going Up!
https://12weeksofquiet.wordpress.com/2013/05/21/roots
8230;A NOLA Girl in Chicago. May 21, 2013. This morning, the feeling I woke up to in my bedroom 100% assured me that winter has breathed its last on Chicago for this season. My room was warm and humid, the air was still- despite the windows being open.and as my students would have said, I was sparkling . But as I woke up, and noticed the feeling around me, I was transported a few thousand miles away and a few decades back in time. Lower Valley, Grand Cayman, somewhere in the 1980s-1990s. His reply, I was...

The poetic writings of the wanderings of a fellow. An announcement. . . December 25, 2012. An announcement. . . This blog is a bit out of date. Tis already winter, and I left in spring. Traveling took me around America in a giant rhombus in which I met 8 new states (8 more to go), shook a thousand hands, and got some scars. Montana was the most delicious new state. It shouldn’t be a surprise that I wrote every day. Clearly, I didn’t publish much here on OWP past getting to Hollywood. Think of it as.

With Thanks. | Going Up!
https://12weeksofquiet.wordpress.com/2013/01/16/with-thanks
8230;A NOLA Girl in Chicago. January 16, 2013. Well, I’m just about a week shy of 6 months in Chicago . And I am so, so, happy to say that before I reach that landmark, I have the ability to say, Yeah, I’m employed! Before I began writing this post tonight, I quickly scrolled though all of my previous posts to make sure I hadn’t already used the title that felt right for my thoughts today. I came across THIS POST. I am thankful I have the ability to laugh at (I mean, of course, WITH) myself in hindsight.

8230;A NOLA Girl in Chicago. January 11, 2013. Author Brene` Brown, in her book,. Writes, Worrying about scarcity is our culture’s version of post-traumatic stress. It happens when you’ve been through too much, and rather than coming together to heal (which requires vulnerability), we’re angry and scared and at each other’s throats. While I can understand where that comes from, that is where I find exception. That does NOT help the community to heal. I will not apologize for or back off from publicly sho...
