Welcome to The Edit—a collection of personal essays, observations, and photography about life as it is: beautiful, complicated, funny, occasionally messy, and always changing.
Each entry is an Edit, a closer look at something worth noticing. Friendship and family. Travel and home. Growing older and knowing ourselves better. The things we carry, the things we let go, and the small pleasures that make an ordinary day feel like something more.
Some Edits ask questions. Some tell stories. Others simply stop long enough to notice something I don't want to forget.
These stories may begin with me, but so much of what we feel, question, carry, and celebrate is shared. I hope you'll find something here that speaks to you, too.
THE EDIT
Edit 44: Ten Things—May
May arrived in a whirlwind and left having given everything. Graduations and ceremonies, florals and champagne, busy mornings and very full evenings. Ten things I don't want to forget.
Edit 00: Welcome to Life, Edited
Thirty-six Edits in and I'm just now introducing myself. Fashionably late—but then again, I'm a woman who considers five minutes early to be running late. And somehow, this feels exactly on time. This is where Life, Edited began.
Edit 32:Four Days
Four days in Charleston with my daughter—wandering through antique stores, chasing unexpected flowers, and sharing meals that will live in memory for a long time. This is what I came for.
Edit 29: Ten Things
Life has been a lot lately—the beautiful, overwhelming, blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of a lot. So before March gets away from me entirely, I'm doing what any reasonable person does when the calendar is full and the heart is fuller: I'm making a list.
Edit 19: Note To Self
Note to self: late January is a reminder that the in-between isn’t a waiting room—it’s where life is being edited
