working real hard
Hard to believe that my 18th year in NYC is coming to an end next month, and this will be the horizon of a new home. Having uprooted almost 30 times across 5 states and 3 countries, never have I felt a true sense of belonging like I do in NYC. I will carry that with me, always. I suppose for each setting sun, a new day rises. See you soon, San Francisco. 🤙

We follow the footsteps of those who inspire us. Anthony Bourdain - you sparked my love for traveling, my thirst for cultures & faraway lands, and my bravery to do it alone, head first, off the beaten path. Thank you. 😭 #anthonybourdain @anthonybourdain
a moment in time of truth. #yougogirl : I'm working with a group of art activists this month and learning so much about what it's like to expose ourselves thru art. When we put out art, we are judged not only for our skills but for our values and identity on the daily. It's humbling, scary, and inspiring. Mad respect for artists in all that you do.
getting used to my new ride. love the vibe of this fin... though a tad big for Rockaway's shallowness.
tranquil is this young bloom slowly drinking light from Saturday's sun.
more on what this is.. it's #love. It's #chaos. It's #newyork. It's #lostsupper. see my insta story while it's up there or stay curious forever.
that time we took the turn down the cliff to the naked beach and had a thought experiment. * nudity is associated with #vulnerability. to be fully exposed to the elements triggers our instincts for protection. but when did nudity become associated with embarrassment? when did we become ashamed of exposure? how come only a few of us are ok with it while others aren't? all the while our most intimate moments happen when we are naked. what would we learn if we put our vulnerability on display? definitely something to try once. * #questioneverything #getoutofthecomfortzone
i often refer to myself as the bird that doesn't know how to make a nest, and so she keeps flying and flying until she gets really tired. then she'd fall down from the sky and die. this is why therapy is good.
light from above when darkness looms. ° A tribute to my friends who has guided me through the last few months with your wisdom, stories, references, warnings, intros, time, hugs, & negotiation strategy. You know who you are. Thank you.
Happy anniversary to the squirly haired punny man who I will gladly give up my side of the bed for everyday. 😘
I love a good back story of a photo. It shows how photographers find ways to tell their own stories through unique perspective, often contorting themselves to get to just the right angle. I love that those who do such things care to spend time patiently with a space ... long enough to see hidden delights. Here, the blue ribbon garden is only blue when it mirrors the sky. I'm sure he and I are on the same page there. :: #modernism #architecture #frankghery #manmadegarden #weirdtree
