The Discussion of a Lifetime
The room is crowded. Everyone is dressed in black. It seems the effort to smile is short lived as any laughter follows a few tears. Everyone seems to be collecting their thoughts as much as possible. The hors d’oeuvres on the dining table have barely been touched with the exception of the cookies cousin Tara’s 6-year-old daughter keeps snatching when she thinks no one is looking. The alcohol on the other hand seems to be disappearing rather quickly. There is a man with his head down sitting at the end of a long cherrywood table. His wife Mia gently rubs his back as he struggles to cry in silence. He manages to compose himself only a moment as he lifts his head.

Do Not Get Out Of the Car!
One of the most exciting moments of a young adults life is achieving home ownership. I was feeling very proud of myself having purchased a condo on my own. In 2015 I was a single woman that had just renovated a condo in Colorado. I decided to buy in order to escape the rental prices that were skyrocketing from Colorado's booming economy.

WHO WANTS ICE CREAM?!
So here it is! My bowl of vanilla ice cream with sprinkles. No, it’s not my favorite but there is a special story behind it. It’s a humid summer in Long Island. The sky has never been so blue. It’s as if the sea air has washed all the pollution away. So many trees and an endless ocean. A hidden paradise or so I thought. I was with family far away from home. The place seemed magical. Perhaps it was the usual innocence of a child simply being somewhere new or perhaps it was my imagination trying desperately to escape a reality I didn’t quite understand.

Humorous Tale of The Cookie Dough Bandits
You might agree there are a lot of things siblings can look back on throughout their lives to which they feel anger, sadness, or pure joy. I'm fortunate to have a great relationship with my older sister Chavi. So usually we're laughing about something. We may be happily married adults living in different states now but it doesn't stop me from occasionally shading her cookie dough eating abilities. It was a moment of pressure and one of us delivered.
