40 Days and 40 Nights

Today marks 40 days of living in my personal Ark in Harlem. I've been keeping a quarantine journal to document this weird time and this morning, I thought about Noah. I wrote about him in "Sunday School for Sinners & Saints" but today, I feel like Noah is me. And you. Perhaps this is what …

Peekaboo.
Summered.
One thing I know for sure: life is so much better when you’re fully YOU.
Be you. And be loud about it.
Be you.
Magic.
Everyone needs a sister who sends them Gilmore Girls cookies for their birthday.
Summer in New York means rooftop views and apparently gummy bears, which I am oh so fine with.
It took almost 25 years, but last night I finally saw the @backstreetboys.
