2017 and Me

I’ve been hearing much talk about how 2017 has been a terrible year. It seemed like every way we turned, the world was falling apart. Our lives were changing and the future seemed grim. There was a sense of restlessness and helplessness, a sense of exhaustion. It was full of highs, lows, and all the… Read More 2017 and Me

Ready to Run

I’m a runner. That’s the first time I’ve ever said that. But, I am. I’m a runner. Wow, feels good to admit. Next Sunday, I’ll be running the 2017 TCS New York City Marathon. Yep, I’m running 26.2 miles through New York City’s five boroughs: Manhattan, Staten Island, The Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn. This is… Read More Ready to Run

Cheers to Us

Cheers. Cheers to a year full of momentous ups and monumental downs. Cheers to being better for it. Cheers to the travels, the adventures, the risks. Cheers to ringing in the year on a snowmobile and wrapping it up on the beach. Cheers to Burning Man! Cheers to the late nights, the early mornings. Cheers to the music… Read More Cheers to Us

All Over The Fckng Place

Hey. So I’m all over the fucking place. Here’s the thing. I think I developed a case of the scaries a.k.a. anxiety. It happens. It happens to me every holiday season. Maybe because the holidays are a time of change, a time of endings and beginnings, a time of reflection. Maybe because, even though I’m with… Read More All Over The Fckng Place

I Wish He Could See

I wish he could see that I’m trying. That I have this new life over here and that I’m trying. I wish he could see that I didn’t ask for any of this. This wasn’t my undoing. And that all I’ve done was what I could do, which was my best. I wish he could… Read More I Wish He Could See

These Songs Remind Me of You

Saturday in the park, I think it was the Fourth of July. People dancing, people laughing, A man selling ice cream, singing Italian songs. Every time I hear Chicago or Steely Dan, I think of my dad. Some of my fondest memories from when I was a little girl were when I’d walk into the… Read More These Songs Remind Me of You

Thank You’s

Today, I am thankful. I’ve got 24 hours until I run my very first half marathon. Sure, I’m stuck in bed with a sinus infection, I haven’t run much all week, and this jet lag is a bitch. But I’ve gotta say your love and encouragement have given me the extra lift I need to… Read More Thank You’s

Eight Hugs

Back in the day, I used to be part of a work team that was closer than closest can be. We went to each other’s weddings, we disagreed (with passion), we rode trains, planes and automobiles together, we acted like clowns, we saw success again and again…we had a good thing going. We were a… Read More Eight Hugs

Down In My Heart

It’s Mother’s Day. A day to honor mom. Send her flowers. Write odes. Give her hugs. A day to say “yes” to mom. The thing about my mother and I is that we’ve been through a heck of a lot in my 30-something years. While my mom was raising me, she was also growing up herself.… Read More Down In My Heart

Live It Well

Life is a gift. Live it well. This past year, two people in my life have passed. Beautiful women. Both in their 30s. Too soon. Shannon, a woman who had the laugh of a lifetime. I’ve never been a sillier person than I was with her. The shenanigans we’d get into, the days we’d walk around… Read More Live It Well

ABOUT FIANA
