June 18, 2019 Erin M. Bank

Tuesday Morning Coffee: Past Me and Present Me

April 9, 2019April 9, 2019 Erin M. Bank

But this isn’t a story about that trip. Or even my first months in San Francisco which turned into now six-and-a-half years here. This is a story about what that six-and-a-half-year-old me would have given to know what present me is up to.

Tuesday Morning Coffee: Thinking

July 3, 2018 Erin M. Bank

May 22, 2018 Erin M. Bank

Tuesday Morning Coffee: That Time of Year

December 26, 2017 Erin M. Bank

In a world of click-bait and marketing and advice-giving (because now everyone with an internet connection is an expert), this is the time of year we get inundated with end-of-year lists. The best of, the worst of, top 10s, top 50s, of last year. The ways to make next year the greatest ever - what… Continue reading Tuesday Morning Coffee: That Time of Year

Tuesday Morning Coffee: Unknown

December 19, 2017 Erin M. Bank

It is one of those mornings I sit down to write without a plan, without even a fragment of an idea. I woke with my mind buzzing around all I have to do today. It was tempting to let the buzzing take over, to eschew my normal Tuesday morning routine in favor of a little… Continue reading Tuesday Morning Coffee: Unknown
