What would you do if you won the lottery? We all have that dream. More or less. That dream that we have while awake toiling at some task. You could be doing the dishes, looking out the kitchen window, and for a split second, your mind wanders. All […]
Ten months ago, I ditched my Apple Watch. It was a clean break. No regrets at first—I had switched to a different type of smartwatch. But that new one gave me a rash, and nobody wants validation that comes with an itchy price. So, I made do with […]
For 16 years, I’ve been exchanging a simple “hello” with the same building worker on my walk to the train. Every weekday morning, rain or shine, we greet each other with a smile, and maybe a quick comment about the weather — an easy icebreaker that requires no […]
