Inspiration Tuesday: The Living Is Easy
July is in full swing here in New York. The sticky heat of the city has set in, and while humidity is the default in the river valley we call home, it’s not quite the same when it’s accompanied by the smell of hot garbage instead of honeysuckle blooms. So we’re longing for a different…

Inspiration Tuesday: I Hope
What to say. After the events of this past weekend, we could really use a little pick-me-up, some sunshine in our lives to drive away all the hurt and anger and hate. Love is love is love is love is love, y’all, and so we keep striving, and loving, and working for a brighter tomorrow.…

Inspiration Tuesday: These Streets Will Make You Feel Brand New
The recent Derby hooplah came with a healthy dose of nostalgia, a homesick longing for our old Kentucky home and all the good folks who understand just how big of a deal this little horse race is. But this time of year is also a reminder of how and why we love New York, our…

Inspiration Tuesday: The Sun Shines Bright
April is upon us, which means our favorite holiday is just around the corner. That’s right, Derby time is upon us! So our inspiration this month comes from our old Kentucky home — where the sun shines bright and the meadow’s in the bloom, and where we always wish we were this time of year. We’re…

Inspiration Tuesday: Roll On Little Train
March roared in last Tuesday in a whirl of meteorological confusion, giving us sunshine and snow and the drizzle of rain all in the span of one week. The atmosphere can’t seem to settle down, pick a lane (or a season), and this topsy-turvy clime has got us feeling antsy, too. We’re itching to climb…

Inspiration Tuesday: Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Happy Tuesday, and a very happy Mardi Gras to you all! Zelda’s Southern heritage comes steeped in Tabasco and chicory coffee, bred in the mud of the bayou, so she is particularly fond of this festive day. For the weeks leading up to Fat Tuesday, her kitchen table back home is watched over by two…

Inspiration Tuesday: If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out
For this month’s inspiration, we’re looking to music. As we search for our voice and attempt to march to the beat of our own drum, these are the songs (and books and videos and etc.) in our ears and in our hearts that help us march unto the breach of a new year with confidence and…

Inspiration Tuesday: Just Like the Ones We Used to Know
Temperatures are unseasonably warm here in the city, and while we’d be thrilled with this kind of reprieve come January or February, at this holly jolly time of year we’re missing the crisp, cold weather that usually graces us in the weeks leading up to the holidays. Somehow, without our cozy gloves and fluffy hats,…

Inspiration Tuesday: Saving Daylight
November is normally a melancholy month. Daylight Savings sucks the sunshine away, the wind begins to howl down every skyscraper-lined block, and the bright spots of the holidays are still too far away to reasonably start listening to our festive playlists. This November, though, has been downright balmy — nearly summer-like in its warmth and…

We are the Music Makers
October is upon us. It came with the humidity of an Indian summer swirling in the gusty breezes of fall, the leftovers of Hurricane Joaquin, and its murky grey and overcast skies have us looking for beauty in the decrepit and the overlooked: the slosh of brown and red leaves in puddles, the smell of the air…
