“Don’t count the days. Make the days count.” ~Muhammed Ali Dear Universe, I received my first diary when I was about eight or nine-years-old. It was pink and had a miniscule heart lock attached. I kept the key hidden and sitting to write was a secretive process. I’d sneak away to my bedroom, shut the door, pick a colored pen, …
Departure
“Everybody has to leave, everybody has to leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons.” ~Donald Miller Dear Universe, It’s hard to believe a month has gone by and I’ll be returning home later today. When I booked this trip I wondered if a month would be too long. There were moments …
Buckingham Palace
Dear Universe, As you may have noticed, I like taking photos. In fact, I have already taken over 400 pictures since I’ve been here! But I have a confession, a guilty pleasure of sorts. While I am out capturing memories through photographs, I like to help strangers get theirs too. I don’t set out to do this. It just happens. …
Regent’s Park

Future Flash
Dear Universe, As you are well aware, I tend to think about the future… a lot. I wonder where I’ll be, what I’ll be doing, who will be my side, how it will all happen, when it will play out… and on and on. But the other night, as I tossed and turned thinking about—well, what else, my future—I realized …
It Moves You
Dear Universe, For the past couple of weeks I keep seeing the same billboard off the highway as I crawl through traffic. It’s for a car—don’t ask me which one—and the slogan reads, “It moves you.” I’m always struck by the line. Every time I read it I wonder: what is it that really moves me? Not in the physical …
Moment to Moment
Dear Universe, In life we often remember “moments.” Whether they were ones that stole our breath, ones that we anticipated or ones that we’d rather forget—somehow life can be strung together in a series of moments—almost like a photo album of our lives. Birth, first steps, first birthday, first day of school, first friend, first dance, first kiss, first job, …
