girl-ish
By Kiley Shuffett When I first moved to New York City, I was in search of girlfriends. How perfect is it that Girl-ish Writer, Amanda Paschal, is a Kentucky girl living in the big city too? To make it even more impressive, she's a twenty-something doing big things in her career! In October, we sat down for coffee and I picked her brain a little....she talks about a greater plan, how she has found success, and of course, Mindy Kahling! Oh, and she has a super famous boss. We just can't tell you who ;-)

By Kiley Shuffett This piece is not about stalking, as the title may lead you to believe. It's about a certain kind of a love...some may call it a tale as old as time. It's about Beauty and the Beast. Just kidding. It's about long-distance relationships; the good, the bad, and the ugly of trying to maintain a relationship spanning hours, states, countries, or even continents. It certainly isn't fun, and no one said it would be easy, but if you make it to the end (of the long-distance period and this piece) you might find they are most definitely worth it.

By Kiley Shuffett Dear Grand Canyon, I will never forget the first time I saw you and how quickly my emotions took over. Or how you stole all the breath from my lungs and I began to cry, in the rain, at sunset, seeing you for the very first time. After 8 hours in a tiny car, the vastness of you was enough to knock me over. At first glance, you reached in and rattled my core. They write songs about that kind of thing. And if ever I need to make the case that “love at first sight” does indeed exist, I will take them to you. What a privilege it was to walk along your edges, dangerous and inviting...the most lethal and lovely combination. Relentlessly, you insist on pulling people closer; closer and closer to the edge, as close as they dare get before vertigo pushes them back to safety. A usually cautious and reasonable young woman, I certainly tested my limits with you. |
