Here we are, on the cusp of spring, yet winter’s icy grip just won’t let go. I find myself in that strange in-between season where the longing for warmth and color seeps into every part of my day. You know the feeling — that deep desire to just […]
Monday mornings tend to have us daydreaming, right? Today, I found myself fixated on black-billed magpies. Yes, magpies! These little birds are seriously underrated. Not only are they drop-dead gorgeous with their sleek black-and-white tuxedo look, but they’re social geniuses. They can recognize themselves in the mirror (let […]
This past Sunday, I caught the tail end of an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning about movies and the elusive cinematic experience. The interviewee was discussing the shift in how we consume films—people are now averaging two movie theater visits a year, but they’re watching around seven […]
I recently stumbled upon an article, courtesy of a TikTok deep dive (don’t judge), that featured an interview with Friends star Matt LeBlanc. Now, while Joey Tribbiani might have been all about pizza and asking “How you doin’?”, it turns out real-life Matt is all about…doing nothing. And […]

There’s a daily ritual in my house that I approach with both love and bleary eyes: feeding my trio of dogs. Now, I’m no Michelin-starred chef, but to my furry companions, I may as well be. Each one of them has their own specific culinary preferences, and I, […]
I have a long-standing love affair with words. Some people collect stamps, others collect coins, and I collect words. But not just any words—those esoteric ones that most people might only encounter while playing Scrabble or reading a philosopher’s manifesto. My husband loved to throw around obscure terms […]
We’ve all had that moment, right? The sweet taste of victory, no matter how big or small. Maybe it was landing the big promotion, winning a tennis match, or—like me—scoring a petty little triumph that no one else will ever care about. But here I am, two days […]
You know that feeling when you’re buzzing with energy but have no idea what to do with it? Like you’re a hamster on a wheel, except the wheel is spinning in a dozen directions, and no matter what, you’re not getting anywhere? Yeah, that’s me today. I need […]
