project1979 turns 40
I started this blog in response to feeling very….30 and also feeling like the generation I connected with was special. I still feel that it is.

Snow days, Mimosas: Dear Karen
Toasting a woman who taught me to embrace both kale and gratitude.
Dear Rodney
I am currently living in a place where no one is rioting and the biggest struggle for me today will be getting my car out of my snow-packed driveway.

What Time is IT?
What time is it? It’s BIRTHDAY TIME! Come dance with me… …because it’s my first day of being thankfully, fully in my mid-30’s and I am feeling grateful that I made it. This song exemplifies what I feel on this perfect cloudy London day. I sing it nearly every day: This year which has stretched … Continue reading
