When You Just Know – with Rob Schwarz

UncategorizedAugust 2, 202079Views 0Likes 0Comments

I sat down with Rob Schwarz to talk with him about his life; and by sat down with him, I mean I was cross legged on a gray cushioned chair in my dining room while he enjoyed a quick vacation to Maryland, though, if he had it his way, he would’ve been in Vegas. “I’m…

How Well Do I Know Myself?

If you'd rather hear my amazing voice With a new moon comes new beginnings, or so they say. Honestly, when I hear those two words together, all I can think about is Edward Cullen in Twilight New Moon, so I’m not sure… Plus, I think we always have the chance for a new beginning. What does…

My name is Tatum Lynn Garcia and I am 27 years old. I was born in Glendale AZ, but I’ve lived all over the Phoenix area and moved to Prescott when I was in 8th grade. I have lived in more houses than I can count; I attended three different elementary schools and two different…

Glam Me Baby, One More Time

I walked into Tessa's house... I'm sorry, mansion, in sweatpants and a bleach-stained Kid Rock tee; the grease clinging to every strand of my honey-brown hair didn't matter because I'd be wearing a wig. I wondered how many of the girls were doing the same - I mean only half of them are naturally blonde,…

The Future of Hospitality – with Zach Jukel

I met Zach Jukel, or Jukes, my freshman year at ASU. I was initially struck by his confidence, and then by his continued achievements; I remember one night at Buca Di Beppo, he ate nearly his entire plate of pasta, which, if you haven’t been, is a big accomplishment, seeing as a single portion could…

A Night in Vegas

"My name's Stella," I told him, trying my best to answer as if I were talking to a substitute teacher - not rude... just, blase. I assumed girls pursued him regularly wherever he went because that's what happens to anyone that's made a name for themselves, isn't it? We build a fascination with this beautiful…

When Devon and I spoke about myself writing a piece for “Coffee and a Question,” first and foremost, I was of course honored, but also, in a really good place mentally. Quarantine had served me well. Existing in a place of peace and momentum I, of course jumped at the opportunity. Let me get honest…

Isaac Chavez – In my first day of class at Prescott Family Karate, I was 12, Dustin 11… our Sensei, Rafael, decided it would be a good day to practice a live self defense exercise; the goal being to immobilize the coming attacker. He asked us to match up with someone comparable in size; I…

Epstein – The Serial Sex Predator

Mental HealthJuly 8, 2020101Views 0Likes 0Comments

Listen to the Audio Version Instead: Epstein I’m troubled… as I’m sure many were when finishing the documentary about Jeffrey Epstein. I must (shamefully) admit, I knew nothing about Jeffrey before going into the documentary, outside of his extreme wealth. The title of the doc did nothing to inform me, either— FILTHY RICH… how about “Jeffrey…

4th of July… Independence Day – I’ve thought about what to write in honor of this national holiday and my options have gone back and forth between the recounting some of my favorite memories and taking a step back to really understand what I’m celebrating as an American on the 4th of July... and why…

When I got a message from Taylor informing me she was ready to tell her story but needed help telling it, I was excited, then honored, then extremely intimidated, not only because I’d known and loved her brother since elementary school, but because the Yarnell fire that took 19 hotshots will forever be etched into…

Grief in 2020

What is grief? If we were to boil it down to one word, I think collectively we could agree that grief is loss. 2020 has made its mark on all of us, causing immense grief - with COVID, we lost our sense of normalcy, some lost their jobs, relationships were torn apart, while mental health…
