my photo memories just reminded me that I moved back to philly from brooklyn five years ago today!

I miss the city every day, but I’m so grateful to pals who let me couch surf and come back to say hi to all the people and places I no longer get to see as often as I’d like. it’s also nice to look back and realize the move was absolutely the right thing for me at the time — in the past five years I’ve been able to recover from my divorce, get an MBA, reconnect with so many friends, buy a house, land a dream job at , and go back to school yet again to learn something I’m really excited about.

thank you nyc for everything you taught me, and thank you philly for being home. 💕

, I love you. still processing our trip last week (and responding to linked in requests), but thank you again for such amazing hospitality and letting us spend so much time hanging in your classrooms and on your campus! 🥰

and now for something a little different ✨

I’ve been reminiscing about my small business days and want to give a little second life to some favorite hand lettered designs. I’ve been messing around with digital collaging in Adobe Express and decided to be a littleee vulnerable and share them!
