I wish these moments were more abundant in my own life. These “meet-cutes” where two people become acquainted by means of a random occurrence or coincidence of time or place. Be it simply waiting in line or be it nearly drowning in the Aegean, these are new beginnings. And I am all about that right now. Here’s to a year of more random happenings like these.

What are other meet-cutes in film or in your life? Do tell.

Peace,

8. .NOT USING PLASTIC BAGS.

9. .HAPPY SIGNS.

As Thirty Dialogues Bleed Into One

Having a good conversation is one of my favorite feelings. That moment when you feel almost buzzed with the excitement of how much you want to respond to and absorb what the other person is saying. These conversations happen both with the people I love most and oddly, the people I know least. With the latter category, the buzz comes from the fact that neither one has any expectations for what the other will contribute. I live for these chats.

Peace,
