Just like everyone else, my life is crazy. Especially in the last two months, my career, boyfriend, friends and family have kept me very busy. As a result, I’ve neglected the things I love most, mainly: yoga, food and design. There has been plenty of travel (which I also love) since the year started, but certainly not the relaxing kind. But I haven’t been seeking out interesting places to eat, new foods to try or quirky items for my apartment. I guess you could say that I’ve experienced a hobby-slump as of late, and although I am thankful for my career, boyfriend, friends and family, I’m thinking that it’s about time that I show a little more love to myself and my neglected hobbies.

And so, I’m going to make a goal: moving forward, I’m going to try to blog 3 times a week about the things that I love. This will force me out of the office, off my phone and email, and out there to just DO SOMETHING for myself.

Join me?

I’m a terrible blogger, but to my defense, 2011 has been quite the busy year. I owe it to you (and myself) to recap my “eatie” adventures in Texas, Washington D.C., New York, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Pisa and Florence. Phew – that’s a lot of traveling in 4 months. Until then, I leave you with a phenomenal talk given by Sheryl Sandberg at TEDxWomen that I watched on my flight to New York last week.

I’m back home from Washington D.C. So many incredible things have happened. Can’t wait to tell you about it! But first, who remembers this song? It’s an old favorite.

Madonna to Letterman: “Bring it on.”

When I saw this photo, I thought, “You and me both, sista.”

Know I’ve been a bit quiet lately, but I’ll be back with a vengeance this week. I work in advertising, and it’s Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow. Connect the dots – I haven’t slept for weeks.

Personally and spiritually, I could use some guidance. I hope I can find that soon.

I am calling it an early night.
