how i spent my weekend...

{chronically vintage}

write. reflect.

today i am beginning a new novel. i'm letting the old one go.

too much imagination and not enough heart and that, i believe, is
why it never came to be.

recollections...

this picture reminds me of when i was a little girl and my mom caught me packing all my bags and baby dolls into my little plastic shopping cart. "where are you going?" she asked. "i'm going to new york city!!!" i replied. and, eventually, i did.
