About

This weekend was incredible. We saw the beautiful art & architecture of Guadalajara, had a behind-the-scenes tour of Casa Noble by its talented founder (& tasted some “secret” sips, including one that’s been aging for 9 years in French oak!) & ate too much incredible food. I hope I (like the tequila) am getting better with age. 🎉

I’m so proud to have been asked to write this month’s Delta SKY cover story, profiling the unsung heroes supporting those battling breast cancer. It’s always a privilege when people trust me to tell their stories, but this one felt especially poignant because each person’s cancer journey is so intimate. .
.
As a personal / professional aside (funny how those realms merge when you’re self employed, isn’t it?), one of my big goals for this year was to write another cover story for a national publication (I wrote one for Delta last year on fashion designer Zac Posen). This checks a major box! Plus, it’s a bonus to get to work with such an amazing team of editors. Swipe to see some behind-the-scenes bits from the photo shoot celebrating these survivors and their champions. .
.
Oh! And, I got to interview Deepak Chopra for the “Network” feature for the same issue! And yes, he’s as peaceful and zen as you’d expect :-)

If you’re flying Delta this month, I hope you’ll enjoy.

Fellow writers, are you ever so convinced that you're meant to tell a story that no one can dissuade you? That's how this one felt. It look months to get the interview scheduled and, because ‪Vince Gill‬ was every bit as nice as you'd think (SO NICE!), I psyched myself out for weeks before actually writing it. For some reason, seeing this one in print in the current issue of Southbound, published by @atlantamagazine, is extra sweet. .
.

Plus, check out @vincegillofficial 's new album, Okie, out now.

Continuing my design education last week at @cersaie. Large format tile, intricate mosaics, hand-painted tile, tile made thanks to designer partnerships... so much to see. Swipe!

Atlanta, you’re pretty.

A little late posting, but happy for every day I get to spend with my best girl. Elle Marie, you eliminate my need for an alarm clock, are too smart for your own good and have personality to spare. I love this 8.5-lb. munchkin! 💜❤️💕

I’m on my way to the airport in Buenos Aires and I realized I failed to post even one {permanent} photo. I loved this city as much - even more, probably - as I knew I would and it feels like it might take some time to process. It definitely got under my skin in the most wonderful way... 💃🏻

Iceland’s arctic coast way (far north) was weird and wild and wonderful... I got the assignment less than 10 days before I flew out, so almost everything about it was a discovery. If you’re considering it, go! What do you see when you look at this monolith? Some say a troll, others say dinosaur, still others, a rhino...

Went chasing’ waterfalls in northern Iceland (on assignment). This wasn’t the most powerful one we saw, but it was easily my favorite. 💜 🇮🇸

Fellow pet parents and travelers will get this... how much do you hate having to leave your four-legged best friends behind, even when you’re excited to travel someplace terrific?
Elle starts sulking as soon as the suitcase appears, so I don’t pack until the very last minute... (I’m a bit of a procrastinator anyway, so...) I’m off to explore Iceland’s Arctic Coast Way tomorrow, so if you have any northern Iceland recommendations, I’m all ears!

Fellow achievement junkies (read: freelancers!) will understand, but is there any feeling like seeing your byline in a new publication? I loved having my first story in @ajcnews with a "Private Quarters" feature on the art-filled home of entrepreneur @therealatk (founder of @anisaintl) and artist / architect @arjunkaicker - cute rescue pups included!

Following lots of well-traveled friends makes me feel all wanderlust-y... so I’m thinking back to this bucket list moment with @partyoferyn, when India became one of my favorites.

Ready to pull the trigger on a great weekend like...! @theresortatpawsup

I had the honor of interviewing Mohamed Massaquoi (@ironmassaguoi) for @theatlantan. Of course, I was a fan when he played for @UGAAthletics (GO DAWGS!), but I've become even more of a fan watching him conquer unforeseen challenges. You, sir, are an inspiration!
Read the whole thing via link in bio. Thanks @laurenrfinney for letting me tell this story!
