july 10, 2025 as a native capricorn moon, whenever the full moon phases into the saturnian sign there is a reckoning awaiting me .. the moon itself playing its eternal role as my mirror, showing me exactly where i stand without any sugar coating, but vibrating with promise ... if i shed
With the turn of the new moon corresponding with the turn of the seasons, our swelling hearts and sweaty limbs look forward to the quick fruition of our manifestations. Everywhere you turn the universe is urging patience ... just wait ... I know it's already been a while but wait
There’s a fresh deep purple bruise on my butt from a bleary eyed early morning slip down my apartment stairs And I thought I could give up on my day then and there, crawl back into bed and sleep until I could start over with the next sunrise I
This weekend my beautiful partner reflected on why she loves to watch the water ripple and move - she said that we can learn a lot about ourselves and our nature by observing the way water moves and changes, the patterns it makes and such. I came to think about
Last night in the sticky summer heat I walked down a brick alley and reflected on the decision I made last year to get a new job and how if I hadn’t, there would still be a common thread between the two sides of my choice (no longer being
Coasting through emerald fields and foothills, the views of Eastern Germany aren’t half as bleak as they’re depicted in the book in my hands. Then again, Slaughterhouse Five's bleak WWII setting doesn’t allow for flowery descriptions of the European countryside. Chin perched on my hand,
In the height the seventies a powerful subculture of individuals hell-bent on hedonism and having a damn good time tore through any and every dance floor wearing sequins, spandex, and not much else. Yes, lady and gentlefolk I’m talking about disco. The loud thumping bass and rhythmic flashing of
why not hope for the best?
After a crusty-eyed morning and a day sailing through my nine to five, I arrive at my front door with the resolve to enjoy my evening. As always, I’m greeted by my cat, Romulus, as I open the front door. Our ritual then is for him to run to
I wrote recently about how labels in our day and age are more prevalent than ever, and no matter how fluid the human experience is, people seek community through identification. However, despite our societal label-loving there is one term that I see consistently tossed to the side which I wish
The longest day of the year is upon us and I feel nothing but gratitude for the opportunity to experience such a beautiful life. It’s corny, yes, but on a day where the hours are long there are many opportunities to reflect on how I’ve spent every day
Sticky summer days fade into warm summer nights, and we yield to our most base desires with the simple phrase, “Should we get dessert?” The answer is always, without hesitation, an emphatic yes. The question of where to go does not even arise, as our hearts’ GPS leads us toward
A reprieve for live music lovers - the North Loop was blessed earlier this year with a brand new jazz bar. In between the decadence of Minneapolis eateries is Berlin - an art nouveau influenced space that welcomes the lucky with classic cocktails and an intimate evening of instrumental music.

If you would have told me five years ago that in 2024 I would be in a loving long term relationship with one of my best friends … Let’s be honest, I for sure would be stoked out of my MIND but I think there would definitely be a level
Whether you suckled lattes from bottles or just tried espresso for the first time after hearing Sabrina Carpenter's newest bop, coffee culture is rearing its ultra-caffeinated head this summer ... and I'm not one to complain. I was a staunch drip coffee drinker from the ripe age
Here's where we'll start, we'll start at the edges - the dried nfried edges of my long black tresses. Just a handful to start, maybe on the left side, with my red rusty kitchen scissors I'll attempt a straight line. It'
Driving through the rolling hills and white toothed suburban clusters of almost identical homes, you might drive right past the unassuming new Bavaria Downs wedding venue, Equestria West. It is tucked away just so, guaranteeing privacy for the impending nuptials that have been in a long queue since the pending
Location, though often referred to via geographic physical placement, can also be manifested via mindset. The aura of a city can be replicated simply by altering the way you look at your everyday surroundings. For example, New York City is vibrant, a bit gritty, and electrifying to me - and
Dark with a borderline grimey aura and a subtle retro flair, the Turf Club has been a staple of the St. Paul music scene since the ‘50s. It’s a smallish venue capable of holding a substantial enough crowd to fill the space with unbridled musical enthusiasm, but intimate enough
