Color Therapy

Today there was absolutely no sunlight! With three rounds of snow storms in the DC area and now rain, it feels like winter is talking the long way out.

Thank God for red boots and yelllow sweaters! A friend’s mother knit this delicious scarf.

If you’re having trouble dealing or just want to feel [...]

The road home

I have not written in a while because I have been in Haiti. When I returned last week, I wrote a post for the
Huffington Post about my experience there and thoughts on the situation. The article as published last Wednesday:

Busy-ness

Ajetreo

Ajetreo/busy-ness. Today is a day of much activity.  Woke up at 5.30 to do yoga!! Meeting with fellow DC creative who directed the documentary The Nine Lives of Marion Barry. Office shifts and then evening of movie and dinner in Georgetown. WashPo has listed the restos participating in this year’s Restaurant Week. Check out [...]

Buenos Aires: A Streetcar Named Luck

Transportation is a matter of luck. If you have to be anywhere at an exact time, you’ll want to plan arriving at least 30-40 before. The trains, subte (the train that rides only within the city center) and buses are not always on time. It is not uncommon to have a delay of hours (yes, plural).

Upon [...]

Destination: Buenos Aires

The itch to travel
Travelling is a fool’s paradise…I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the…self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from.- Self-Reliance, RW Emerson

Although I love Emerson and have read Self-Reliance [...]

Thanksgiving Recipes

Thanksgiving Foods

This year I am inspired to go into Thanksgiving with my bells and apron on (even though I am working in the morning; thank God for employment in a time when so many are less fortunate). Sometimes, I start to kick and whine about my life, my problems, my ennui. Then, I stop [...]

Use Your Real Voice

Use Your Real Voice

Do you think it matters what people think of you?
When you get dressed in the morning, or snap the impulse to pick that dangling booger, or don’t post that picture of yourself, do you hold back because you change your mind or because you’re worried that other people would mind?
I wanted [...]

FLAUNT

The Eden Issue

Today, while wondering if I should rename my domain from oisercage.com to FLAUNT, which is the name of this blog, I stumbled on…well, yes, FLAUNT, the magazine. This magazine is crazy mash-up of creativity which I like to think is exactly what my blog is too. Haha. Their sections are Art, [...]

Grand Gestures

In theatre class, they always say “exaggerate everything.” Taking a page from the thespian handbook,
Martha Beck, a magazine columnist and counselor, urges her readers and clients to double everything. Apparently, people only notice about 50 percent of what we think they notice about us. So, if you’re afraid of dancing for fear of falling [...]

Bitchin’: You Will Never Get Enough

…of what you don’t want

I was reading Huffington Post and came across an article in the Living section. Sometimes, they are thought-provoking, sometimes not. This article was part of a series on why “positive thinking” does not work…

At the time, I could not seem to get satisfied with anything in my life. I would [...]
