Some people consult vision boards. Others call mentors. Me? I pitch my ideas to the dogs. It’s a sacred ritual. I pace the room, rambling some grand scheme or mildly delusional plan, and there they are—my panel of furry consultants. Middle dog, the unbothered philosopher, barely lifts his […]
This weekend, I watched the latest Mission: Impossible installment- The Final Reckoning (is it really the final one? Who knows anymore?). What I do know is that this franchise has lived a long life powered by Tom Cruise’s energy, charisma, and refusal to slow down. And, while this […]
You ever get that look? That “Are you mad at me?” look. That “Why aren’t you responding to my third message in 30 seconds?” That “You’re being quiet and I don’t like it” energy? Yeah. That one. Well here’s the thing: I’m not being distant. I’m buffering. Like […]
The other night, I randomly dove into two very different shows. One called Four Seasons and the other Tuiskoms. Somehow, both ended up riding the same emotional wave with women, post-life hiccup, signing up for surfing lessons. Surfing? Not therapy. Not wine. Not screaming into a pillow. Surfing. […]
Ah, Monday. Again. But not just any Monday. No, today we face the Monday before the good Monday. The Monday that has the audacity to show up before a long weekend. A tease. A trickster. The broccoli before dessert. Let’s not pretend it’s an ordinary Monday. It’s got […]
Let’s talk about the dog days of summer. Not because it’s sweltering (though it is for some already) and not because your AC unit is giving you side-eye from overuse, but because I’ve been pondering whether dogs really know or care that it’s summer? The phrase “dog days […]
Some people treat rest like it’s dessert. You only get it if you’ve eaten your vegetables, cleared your inbox, fixed your soul, walked the dog, and saved the world twice. And even then—maybe—you’re allowed to sit down. For ten minutes. As a treat. But let me be clear: […]
What’s one small improvement you can make in your life? The other day, while scrolling aimlessly through a carousel of press clips, memes, and motivational coffee mug slogans, I paused. A young athlete, at a press conference, uttered something that I haven’t been able to shake: “When there […]
It’s mid-May, and I swear I just put away my winter coat. (Actually, I didn’t. It’s still hanging on that chair I promised would never become the laundry chair. Lies.) May, my special month, is supposed to feel like a slow sip of iced tea in the sun, […]
Is anything sacred anymore? Lately, it feels like Hollywood has made a very specific, very intentional editorial choice: to kill off its main characters. That’s righ! The ones we’ve rooted for, grown with, sometimes hated briefly but always come back to. Gone. Wiped out. Poisoned, ambushed, ghosted by […]
