Flipping through some old photos from this year. I swear I’d forget my whole life if not for the photos I take…

Fall Wedding Season Begins
I’m having a busy few weeks– I’ll be attending weddings and events related to weddings for practically the entire month! I’m hoping to have some time for writing. But if not, I’ll see you on the flip side.
Ready for Fashion Week?
There’s nothing like the swishy sound of a silk skirt as a model strides past you on the runway.

New Year’s Blogging Resolutions Update
Can you believe we’re already over one-fourth of the way through 2015? Time has been passing really oddly for me this year. I don’t know where the past three months have gone– but if someone tries to remind me of something that happened in February, I keep thinking that no way, can’t be… that must have happened back in December!
It both seems like it was about a week ago and like it was about a year ago when I wrote my 10 Blogging Resolutions for the New Year. Right around this time of the year is usually when resolutions either stick or completely fall apart. In the hope that I can keep up my good work, I’m sharing what I’ve done successfully and where I can improve in the next few months.

I Climbed a Mountain and I Turned Around
Oh, hey. New year, new name and all that. Or so I figure.
If you’ve ever met me in person, you know that I’ve never liked the name of my blog. I tried about 100 domain names (it felt like that, okay?) and I couldn’t get any of the ones I wanted. So my blog name was about the 100th runner up on the list.
However, this was back in the bad old days when the domains available were just .com and .net. These days, we have options. Which is why I’m now blogging at lettersfromthe.city.

Snowy Winter Walk
Dear Mia,
We’re getting quite a blizzard here so I’m planning on staying safely indoors until it passes through. This afternoon, I took the opportunity for one last walk (no taxis) before holing up in my apartment.

10 Blogging Resolutions for the New Year
Dear Lydia,
I usually like to take the entire month of January to develop my resolutions for the year, but lately I’ve been reading some stellar posts about blogging (Elle Sees, Copyblogger) and I took some time to make New Year’s blogging resolutions for 2015.

A Christmas Ornament Story
Dear Nnenna,
It’s actually been years since I’ve decorated a Christmas tree. Trees are nice, but the best part of decorating them is that I’ve attached a memory to almost every ornament. Even if I didn’t have a tree and just sorted through the ornaments, I would like recalling those memories up.

Happy Holidays
Reading…
Dear Shen Dove,
This morning I was able to sit down for some blog reading for the first time since… April? I had to let reading blogs go while I was in school, and then I had to let blogging go, too. It was hard for me to do that. The best part about blogging is the wonderful community of friends I’ve made over the past few years.
