Today is World Mental Health Awareness Day, and let me just say, it couldn’t come at a better time. Honestly, who else feels like we’re all playing an endless game of “Don’t Drop the Ball”—juggling work, family, and the 12,000 tabs we have open in our minds at […]
What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself? This past weekend, I had one simple, glorious, all-encompassing goal: to do absolutely nothing. I even made a solemn vow to myself. The plan? Become a blissful couch potato, soak in the rare luxury of boredom, and maybe, […]
Every so often, I come across a news story that makes me pause, scratch my head, and think: “This is why I need another cup of coffee.” This week, it’s all about the curious case of a stolen park bench. Yes, you read that right. A park bench—a […]

Halloween. The one night where you can be anything or anyone—and have an absolutely legit reason to dig through the attic, the closet, and perhaps even the cobwebbed depths of your imagination. No, I’m not talking about a midnight snacking mission for last year’s stale candy corn. I […]
