    The Slant

    On practicing being who you already are

    July 24, 2019

    Preface: Between a few extra busy work weeks and planning for vacation to Green Bay next week, I felt like I didn’t have anything substantial to share today. But I’m on a 4-week streak of

    The Slant

    A little bit of backstory, a little bit of apology

    July 3, 2019July 3, 2019

    When I was a kid, I had white-hot, over-the-top passion for The Lion King trading cards from McDonald’s (this one was my favorite). And stickers—especially the fuzzy kind—collected in a keepsake book. And Pringles (plain).

    Chutes and Ladders

    October 30, 2018

    A few days ago, I had this thought that life is kind of like standing in the middle of a ring of knife throwers at the circus. And I legitimately started writing about that, except

    • Hello it’s Monday again and this time vacation feels like it was a decade ago but I’m still dreaming about this magical place and my favorite week of every year.
    • Currently in the denial stage of post-vacation, in which all I want to do is look at pictures and pretend we’re not home yet. It’s going well so far!
    • Things my 8-year-old self was right about: The Lion King is awesome, Little Debbie Snacks are the best, and summer in Pennsylvania is magical.
    • My dad has a habit of picking up a random line from a song and singing it... for years. (His current favorite is “We wish you a Merry Christmas,” and yes, he sings it year round.) When I was a kid, one of his go-to’s was, “New York, New York! It’s a wonderful town.” It was a very Dad-esque move and garnered plenty of mild eyerolls from my mom and me. But now, years and years later, when I’m in the city and something strikes me as wonderful (which is basically always), I instantly think, “New York, New York! It’s a wonderful town.” Sometimes I still roll my eyes. But more often than not, I smile instead. It’s a weird and delightful carryover.
    • Back home from a few magical days in the city that never sleeps, and very ready to go to sleep. Right now. At 5pm. 👵🏻
    • Somewhere along the way, summer stole the show and became my favorite season. Early sunrises and late sunsets. Popsicles, fresh-picked berries, grilled everything, soft serve with rainbow sprinkles. Shorts and t-shirts. Bare feet. Swimming pools. Lightning bugs and bonfires. I am in love with all of it. And, in a trend that began last year but is back with renewed fervor this year, I am also in love with obsessively documenting all of it, so please feel free to skip my Stories for the next three months or so.
