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 27: Weathering Heights
I am a podcasts-or-music person when piddling around the house. Recently, that company has been 'The Red Weather'—and it got me thinking about more than just a missing girl.
Edit 24: On Adult Friendships: Visibility & Boundaries
Adult friendships shift as life does. Being visible takes energy, and not everyone needs full access. This edit is about finding that balance — and learning to protect what matters most.
Edit 21: There’s NOLA Place Like Home
Going home to New Orleans during Mardi Gras—where joy is loud, sugar is mandatory, and celebration is the whole point.
Edit 18: Resilience Still Sings
On a quiet winter morning in Charlotte, watching birds move through snow and ice became an unexpected reminder that even in uncertain moments, resilience still sings.
Edit 16: On Adult Friendships
Adult friendships ask us to keep paying attention: to ourselves, to one another, and to the ways we change over time. Sometimes growth begins not with a conversation, but with noticing what truly uplifts us, being honest about what doesn’t, and choosing differently from there.
