Joy is a Net of Love by Which You Can Catch Souls
My first reaction is what beauty? I’ve definitely crossed over to the invisible side. I rather prefer it that way… My whole life my weight has fluctuated quite a bit and my self-image with it. When I’ve been fat, I’ve been ugly — at least in my mind. I noticed that the more weight I gained, the…

Every Next Level of Your Life Will Demand a Different You
We bumped along a rutted dirt road in a rented SUV, parking a quarter mile from the trailhead leading to the summit of Mount Democrat. The four of us hoisted backpacks stuffed with water, food, dry socks, and extra clothes onto our backs. The thin, 38-degree air nipped at exposed hands and faces. Winded by the…
And a Lonely Stranger Has Spoke to Me Ever Since
When I saw the old man waiting by the pond with his camera my heart fractured a little along the fault lines, already weak, still vulnerable. He was counting on the cormorants, their wings spread wide, and waiting for the mating beavers, swooping under the surface, staying underwater longer than you’d think they could possibly…

The Scariest Moment is Always Just Before You Start
When I was young I would pore over National Geographic magazines and dream of adventures like this — train hopping through the Sahara Desert on one of the world’s longest trains. I had dreamt of the oceans, of the sand, the loud clattering noises of the train, the cold, the wind, the scorching sun. The unknown smells…

The Expert’s Guide to Surviving Long Haul Flights
Whoever said “It’s not about the destination. It’s the journey” never flew on a long haul flight. Those flights can be painful, tiresome, jet-lagging, and not to mention absolutely boring despite whatever Disney movie is playing above you on the TV screen. As someone who has flown from Europe to the USA countless times, I’ve…
Invertir de forma inteligente te evitará crisis post cuarentena.
Pensar en quedarnos sin capital podría ser muchas veces el principal motivo por el que decidimos no hacer una importante inversión que podría cambiar nuestras vidas.

The Tattoo Taboo for the Asian Woman
Tattoos have been around for centuries. From the Native Americans to the ancient Egyptians to the Maori tribes. Tattoos have held significance in a lot of cultures. They symbolised a person’s identity in a number of ways, whether it be status within a community, passage into adulthood or a connection to a spiritual group. Being…
Impossibly High Beauty Standards Are Ruining My Self Esteem

Adjusting to Your Home is no Different than a New Country
I’ve been home from China for nearly three weeks now. While it hasn’t hit me that I’m not going back to China any time soon yet, there’s one thing that both countries have in common. Adjusting to each place can be difficult. First, there’s the jet lag There’s a twelve-hour difference between Michigan and China.…
I Moved Across the Country and Never Looked Back
There are these moments in your life where you don’t know where the power is coming from, but you find yourself making a choice, a choice you never imagined you would make — even in your bravest daydreams — but somehow, you choose, and everything changes.

No Fixed Abode: Quitting Home Ownership
A little over a year ago, I quit my job, sold my home and gave away 99% of my possessions so that I could travel the world. It was the most exciting thing I’ve ever done. To me, quitting a great job was very scary (No more income! A large gap in my employment history!…
Developing Self-Control Through The Wonders of Intermittent Fasting
I remember staring at my watch hoping that I could eat now. Had it been 16 hours yet? I imagined my stomach passive-aggressively pretending to digest knowing full well it was empty. I thought I couldn’t wait, but I could. I had waited yesterday and I was fine, I could wait today. When I First…

The Argument For Short Meditations
Most of the time when people talk about meditation, you hear a couple of things: · It’s really great and has tons of benefits · You should do it consistently, usually daily When this is what you always hear, it might surprise you to also hear that you might be better off doing short meditations…
Do You Want Stronger Friendships, a More Balanced Mindset?
I’ve been a runner since college. I took up the sport because, as a result of too much beer and late-night fried food, I’d become a victim of the so-called “Freshman 15.” Running was cheap. No gym membership, just a pair of shoes and you can go straight from your front door. In the beginning,…
The Next Big Thing in Fashion? Not Washing Your Clothes.
I have a confession to make: I’ve been wearing the same black T-shirt every single day for two weeks now and I haven’t washed it yet. Anybody who knows me will realize this is very out of character. I’m a laundry addict. I get inordinate pleasure out of transforming my toddler’s mud- and applesauce-covered clothes…

Genderless Kei – Japan’s Hot New Fashion Trend
One of the hottest Japanese fashion trends to watch for in 2016 is not a specific brand, type of clothing, or makeup look – it’s Genderless boys!

The Two Most Important Tools to Reconnect With Your Partner
We all experience conflict in our relationships. Whether it’s a recurring argument over something you and your partner just can’t agree on, or random distancing because of slight annoyances that pop out of nowhere, conflict is a natural part of any relationship. The only question is: how fast will we move past these hurdles? Will…

The 4 Convolutional Neural Network Models That Can Classify Your Fashion Images
Clothes shopping is a taxing experience. My eyes get bombarded with too much information. Sales, coupons, colors, toddlers, flashing lights, and crowded aisles are just a few examples of all the signals forwarded to my visual cortex, whether or not I actively try to pay attention. The visual system absorbs an abundance of information. Should…
Extreme Athleticism Is the New Midlife Crisis
The last thing I remember before passing out was the pain. It had overtaken everything, hunching my back, and curling my fingers into claws pecking out incoherent thoughts on my laptop before finally collapsing. It was 3 a.m. on the morning of my 43rd birthday, and depression had finally consumed me. There was no clear…
The Day I Lost My Child in Charles de Gaulle Airport
I heard the timid voice from the seat behind me, followed by a flight attendant handing over a miniature can of Coke. The accent was almost perfect, the delivery immediate and flawless. It was only five words, five words in the course of a day that was supposed to span nearly half the globe, one…
Relationships Aren’t Easy, But They’re Worth It
I feel as though a lot of people who read my articles are under the impression that I am suggesting eventually someone is going to come into their life and every puzzle piece will simply pop into place. Doves will fly out from behind you, a chorus will follow you around on every date, you…
Want to Strengthen Your Relationship? Embrace the Little Things
For many, a sign of love or affection comes neatly wrapped up with a bow— and a really large price tag. It’s bouquets of flowers, shiny diamonds and fancy dinners. It’s nice and all, and probably makes your friends jealous. It makes you happy in the moment. But what about the morning after? And the…
A Simple Way to Address the Gap Between Attention and Intention
I know how it feels when you’re on the ropes, when life has gone sideways, and it’s hard to stay on track. Perhaps it seems there is no track. When you’re in new, ominous territory. Meanwhile, your days are still a flurry of hither and thither. You get to the end of it, and wonder…

It’s a great one…
I Thought My Glasses Made Me Unattractive
Itis, unfortunately, not an uncommon Hollywood trope. Pay attention, and you’ll notice it in many films and television shows. The girl with the glasses is unattractive. She is described as “frumpy”. She’s called every name from “geek” to “loser”, and it hardly matters whether she is book smart or not. It hardly matters if this…
Slice of Tokyo: How Japan Became a Pizza Hotspot
Tokyo is home to some 6,000 Italian restaurants — and a growing community of chefs crafting some of the finest pizza in the world. Tsubasa Tamaki didn’t dream of pizza. He dreamed of architecture, of following in his mother’s footsteps and designing buildings in Okinawa, where he spent the first 18 years of his life.…
How to Find Hidden Cameras in Your Airbnb, and Anywhere Else
In recent months there’s been a number of alarming reports of Airbnb hosts installing hidden cameras in their properties but not disclosing them to the guests staying there. Back in January Fast Company reported on a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University who discovered two hidden cameras recording him and his family in an Airbnb. And…
Is the Natural Hair Movement Coming to an End?
While watching some videos on Youtube one day, something off-topic came up on my ‘Auto-Play’ pane. A video titled ‘Dear Natural Hair Police’. Ironically, this video popped up as I was in the middle of my wash day (aka a drawn-out process in which I wash and style my hair). I didn’t want to touch my…
Why Women Lose Interest — It’s Two Things
When I first started dating, I believed attraction was an art. A beautiful mosaic that two people painted together, each with their unique brush strokes and favorite hues. I still believe this to some degree. It’s two intricate, complex humans coming together to create something equally intricate and complex. This view of attraction as art…
Going Bald Taught Me Not to Care About Stupid Shit
I gazed into the mirror and applied a gray paste carefully to the top of my head with a spatula. The paste stuck to the remaining hairs, matting them together as questions of a new identity loomed on the horizon like the light of a new day. The treatment would have been more effective if…
Beauty is Gene Deep but give me those little imperfections
Q. Why do pretty people get away with murder? A. Preservation of the species. Huh? How could those two ideas possibly be connected? They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That’s partially true, but the symmetrical face with a particular set of characteristics such as how wide apart the eyes are and…
The Unexpected Benefit of Writing Letters to My Kids Every Month
I started writing letters to my kids once a month when they were born. My boys are now 16 and 14, so they have 192 and 168 letters respectively. I’m not done yet, either: I promised to continue writing to them until they turn 18. I won’t lie and tell you I started these letters…
What I Should Have Said to Your Weight Loss Advice
I had just walked in the door when you sidled up next to me. “Can I show you something?” You showed me your iPad, face lit up with eager excitement. You watched me closely, looking for a happy or grateful reaction — something to reinforce your discovery. Instead, you watched my face fall. On the…
Korean Beauty Standards, My Mom, and Me
One evening when I was about 10 years old, I found my mom sitting cross-legged on the living room floor by a lamp. She was gazing at herself in a hand mirror, and an open rectangular box wrapped in red satin with Korean writing on the lid sat nearby. As I got closer, I noticed…
Stop Holding Onto Someone Who Is Already Gone
My ex-husband and I got married with the intention of one day having children. That was actually a thing after our very first date. He really wanted kids; I was unsure. He told me that if I wasn’t at least open to the idea of having children one day that we wouldn’t have a second…
Having Children Will Change Your Marriage — and Not for the Better
My ex-husband and I got married with the intention of one day having children. That was actually a thing after our very first date. He really wanted kids; I was unsure. He told me that if I wasn’t at least open to the idea of having children one day that we wouldn’t have a second…
Why You Shouldn’t Rush to Slow Down or Obsess Over Self Care
I recently took a bath for the first time in the small bathroom of an apartment where I’ve lived for five years. That’s a long time to neglect such a simple pleasure. As I lay there, all warm, rubbery and relaxed, I started thinking about why. Practically, there was no stopper for the tub. I…
How to Navigate Travel Experiences While Sober
When I was drinking, I would use alcohol as a way to ease almost every aspect of travel. It was the perfect salve for homesickness, culture shock, and the discomfort that often comes when you’re in a new place. I also used drinking to help make new friends, feel a false sense of freedom, and have…
The Vacation I Became a Parent to My Father
In Hawaii, I walked around in white pedal pushers, carrying a large, white straw purse, (even larger than my mom’s) thinking that all the boys would surely notice me. Well, if they did it wasn’t as anything but a flat-chested twelve- year-old carrying a purse way too big for her and smiling like a complete…

How Much Fighting in a Relationship Is Too Much?
In “Tell Me Why,” she tells the story of a boyfriend with a mean streak. “You took a swing, I took it hard/And down here from the ground I see who you are,” she sings. In “Blank Space,” she addresses a revolving door of unhealthy relationships. “Boys only want love if it’s torture,” she counsels…
Working with Soul Remembering and Power Places
I am sharing about what it means to have a soul remembering, why we have a soul led experience, and how to integrate when we have a past-life or soul remembered energy come into our lives. I am especially focused on power places and how they can affect us energetically in remembering who we are.…
What to Do When You Hit Rock Bottom
Making a list of failures is never an easy task. I mean, who wants to look at what went wrong? Who wants to recall the low points? Who wants to revisit the times you tumbled down the cliff and landed at the bottom, broken and bleeding? I do. Not because I’m a psychopathic sadist, but…
Broadway Critics Have a Problem With Teen Musicals. How Do We Solve It?
Ask just about anyone who keeps up with Broadway, and most people will agree that it’s having a bit of a teen musical Moment. Broadway musicals for and about teenagers are a relatively new phenomenon in the grand scheme of things. 2006’s Spring Awakening was arguably the turning point, at least in terms of offering a musical…
If You Aren’t Building Together, You Are Growing Apart
I was having a conversation on relationships today and got pretty triggered by a comment from my partner, Mr. Brooks. He said, “I don’t believe relationships should be work.” His mother warned me at a dinner earlier last month of this belief he held; she and I had a laugh over wine at the thought…
Running Is More Than A Hobby — It’s A Friendship
I’ve been running regularly for almost 18 years. Before today, believe it or not, I’ve never actually reflected on this amount of time. It honestly took me by surprise. I began to think: what’s kept me interested all this time? Through injury and setback, trial and tribulation, success and accomplishment, why have I continued to…
The Unbearable Lightness of Being Yourself
Deadlines. New demands. Rising expectations. If you’re like most accomplished professionals, you spend most of your day fighting off requests from other people. They want your time, energy, and expertise. Since you’re a loyal team player, you’re happy to give it. Perhaps you’re also the last one to leave at the end of the day…
Let Go of Perfectionism and Find More Peace
In school, perfectionism is often rewarded, but in life, it can hold you back. Perfectionism served me well in the 1980’s American public school system. I checked and double-checked my answers on tests so I didn’t make careless errors. I turned in highly polished work and received bonus points for good presentation (usually by adding…
How To Enjoy Your Social Life While Staying In Shape
There’s a tradeoff between fitness and socializing, but you can have it both ways. If we’re being honest, most of us aren’t into fitness for our health. Sure, if you’re obese maybe your doctor told you to lose weight. But for the rest of us, fitness is really about looking good. We want sixpack abs.…
Tomorrow is Often the Busiest Day of the Week
Here’s a puzzle: You’re sociable. You’re fun to be around. You’ve got self-deprecating stories and an archive of jokes that lighten the mood of any group. You’re spontaneous. You’re good-looking — so much so, in fact, that a night out often turns into a semi-romantic escapade. You’re genuinely interested in other people, and you always…
How To Love Yourself, Even When No One Else Seems To
Dear Thin Friend, we’ve been planning this trip for months, and the day is finally here. I’m so excited to be embarking on this adventure with you. It fills me with joy to be traveling with you to far-off lands to experience new cultures and reach a level of relaxation neither of us has felt for…
