Amsterdam: A Love Story

Leave a Comment / Blog, Travel / By /

Listen on Spotify Spring in Amsterdam brings the tulips. Big, luscious tulips that illuminate the city and breathe life into a community that has just awakened from a winter soon long forgotten. This is the city that Adi and I discovered as we paraded around town on our first day after our arrival. The smell of marijuana permeated the air and as I looked around, I saw a city that seemed exceptionally at peace with itself. All the things that many of us seem to suffer from—guilt and shame, prejudice and discontent, angst, and ambition—they all appeared to be noticeable […]

When in Rome

When in Rome…

Listen on Spotify When the sun rises over Rome, a new city is born. Rome leaves behind her nighttime alter ego and becomes a much different city in the daytime.

Tomorrow, January 9, 2024, I am elated to announce the release of my new book, Quietude.  A little background on the book:  A few years ago, Adi challenged me to write a book with a female protagonist.  I started this little novella and wrote about 4 chapters before putting it aside until inspiration struck me. Cut to late summer of 2023—I had a big idea for a four-part book that I began writing called I’Eternal.  My goal was to make this book my magnum opus (I know, pretty bold!) and I began in earnest writing.  I grappled with this really
