Making Miami Mine: #101 Try on wedding dress at Miracle Mile
http://mialiving.blogspot.com/2011/01/101-try-on-wedding-dress-at-miracle.html
Friday, January 28, 2011. 101 Try on wedding dress at Miracle Mile. Ok, so technically this didn't happen on Miracle Mile. And technically, I didn't try on any wedding dresses myself. And of course, I'm not engaged. Of course H. looked beautiful in every gown, and she found just the right one. When I walk down the street, it's always fun to window-shop and day dream. I still can't imagine trying to decide which dress is "the one." Though I do have to say one thing:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Making Miami Mine: July 2010
http://mialiving.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 25, 2010. It had been many moons since I had danced. I realized exactly how long and thought: I cannot continue without dancing. So, I went to a milonga in Aventura. It was a bit of the viejito lonely hearts club, but fun. I was nervous I'd trip on my feet and stumble on the giros. Luckily, dancing tango is like riding a bike. You just hop back on. I feel like I'm back in Buenos Aires. But the song ends, and I'm here in South Florida and want to be there. 6 Walk in Coral Gables. 50 Eat at Ve...

Making Miami Mine: August 2010
http://mialiving.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 20, 2010. 85 File radio story. Radio is pure storytelling. Or the theater of the mind, as a great professor once told me. This piece was so fun to report for radio. (The Miami Herald and WLRN have a partnership, which rocks.). The piece is about a group of artists and writers in South Florida - the Foryoucansee collective. They're trying to break Latin stereotypes and celebrate the Miami they know – 17 syllables at a time. So, here’s some Hialeah Haiku to go with your rice and beans. Eddie...

Making Miami Mine: October 2010
http://mialiving.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 21, 2010. 54 Eat a croqueta. This was the scene of CroquetaFest 2010. I did not start it. I swear. I enter the bakery section at the Publix grocery in South Miami and am perusing the pastries. (Much to my diet's chagrin.) Suddenly I hear a guy in Spanish say: "Qué estás haciendo? Te están mirando," another employee tells his chubby coworker, nervously snatching the croquetas. "Las cámeras," he added. Sunday, October 10, 2010. 98 Go to art fair. I like the snow cones, too. Saturday, Octo...

Making Miami Mine: #62 Run @ Venetian Causeway
http://mialiving.blogspot.com/2010/10/62-run-venetian-causeway.html
Saturday, October 9, 2010. 62 Run @ Venetian Causeway. The Venetian Causeway connects the mainland of Miami with Miami Beach. It crosses Biscayne Bay and strings together small islands along the way. It's also super close to the Herald and lovely to run. The views distract and inspire so, you nearly forget to lift your knees, swing your arms and breathe as you run. And the breeze is better than air conditioning. November 10, 2010 at 10:15 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Making Miami Mine: September 2010
http://mialiving.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 25, 2010. 25 Join youth group. Faith is important to me. So is community. And the St. A's young adult group has helped me feel rooted in Miami. We have weekly discussions on faith, and hang out afterwards. We help out on service projects, like serving at a soup kitchen. And every so often, we play volleyball at the beach or at the University of Miami. Pray and play. 37 See Fairchild Gardens. I didn't just see the botanic garden. I became a member of Fairchild. Lots of palm trees;.

Making Miami Mine: The List
http://mialiving.blogspot.com/p/list.html
This blog started from a list and a conversation. Shortly after moving to Miami, I made a quick visit back home. And on my return flight to Florida, I got very excited that I was going back to my new home, and a new life. So I pulled out my writing pad and made a list. (Because I'm a list maker who makes lists of lists.) I wrote down 102 things to do in Miami to make my life here. (Don't read the photo too carefully or I might blush.). L suggests a blog. L. has great ideas. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Making Miami Mine: June 2010
http://mialiving.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 19, 2010. I had my first pen pal in second or third grade. I don't remember the year, just that out of the blue a card arrived from my mom's high school friend from Pennsylvania. I had never met her, but she asked if I would be her pen pal. I felt special. And she promised to always try and find peacocks cards for me, because she liked peacocks and peacocks were special. I saved them all. Here's to the nearly lost art of handwriting notes. 26 Meditate at la Ermita. I sit and meditate. ...
