It was raw experience I was after. That, and vibrancy. I applied to a college in Greenwich Village to major in “Creative Writing” and moved on a student visa when I was still 18. I packed fake ID, duffles of clothes, and a tax-free carton of harsh, Canadian cigarettes—Belmonts—which I regret now because smoking’s dicey but also because it was uncreative of me; kids in my program rolled their own. I lived and read and wrote, but never cooked on Cornelia St long before Taylor sang about it, above a still-thriving Papaya Dog. That money, I’d saved from six years of TV work. I would spend nearly all of it in Manhattan in three. Out of my depth, too young for most things, I looked for myself. And the questions I’d moved with—the early ones that felt urgent about language and “voice”—were addressed in class, but not answered. September makes me nostalgic. 🌱

Hallmark’s annual Countdown to Christmas is well underway, but I’m biased and think our movie is the best one? Here’s a few behind-the-scenes pics of me and the Hallmark hunk I was lucky enough to be cast opposite, @therealbrendan_penny. [Sidebar: He’s really tall— I’m standing on a box in the third shot.] This Wednesday, “A Season For Family” premieres at 8/7c and it’ll repeat all weekend. Happy Thanksgiving! 🥰🫶🏻❄️☃️❤️💫🎬

Saturday night in a global pandemic. There was no better moment than earlier tonight to open this workbook on creativity, passion projects, and meaningful uses of free time. And? I want to write a novel. There. I’ve now admitted it publicly. Thank you for guiding me through the very early, messy, and overwhelming stages of brainstorming @bstosuy Your book is good company. 💫
I’m lucky to be on this new show— later. It premieres Sept 23rd and looks fantastic! Here, medical cases in each episode are inspired by real brain disorder research conducted by the renowned neurologist (and author!) Dr. Oliver Wolf Sacks. How cool is that? 🎭🎬👀🧠🚑💡NBC w/ streaming on Peacock.
