Let’s get something straight. Horses can smell your fear. I mean, we always knew they could feel our vibes. They’re majestic, overall. They are giant prey animals who have survived millennia by sensing danger. But now scientists have given the phenomenon a fancy name and data to back […]
January has always felt like a strange month. It’s long, gray, and stretched thin like an old rubber band about to snap. People talk about “new beginnings,” resolutions, fresh starts. But for some of us, January is not a clean slate. It’s a ledger of losses. I’ve lost […]
It’s a brand-new year, which means two things: 1. I’m still writing “2025” on every form, and2. I’m staring at my bank statements like a detective in a true-crime documentary, trying to figure out who subscribed me to all these services. Spoiler alert: it was me. Past Me. […]
There comes a moment in adulthood, usually halfway through eating leftovers you don’t remember cooking, when you realize time is moving faster than Amazon Prime shipping. Whole weeks slip by like receipts you swear were “just on the counter.” Blink twice and it’s Monday again. Blink three times […]
There are moments, usually late at night, when the urge is not for meditation or deep breathing, but for a primal scream. The kind that rattles walls.

Every now and then the universe throws us a little curveball just to remind us it’s still the reigning champion in “plot twists.” This week’s cosmic surprise?

2025 didn’t tiptoe in. It arrived with a clipboard, a calendar full of meetings, and a very clear message of “You’re in it now. Fully. All the way in.” This was the year I stepped into my new role and actually turned things around. Not quietly. Not tentatively. […]
I recently came across a line that stopped me in my tracks “It’s a year where growth comes from motion, not mastery.” And for reasons both cosmic and deeply personal, it landed. As a Rat entering a Horse year apparently I’m astrologically predisposed to this lesson. Rats are […]
I don’t know who decided that Brussels sprouts would be the official vegetable of 2025, but I would like to have a word. Preferably far away from any roasting pan. Every restaurant menu I glanced at toward the end of the year whether it was holiday prix-fixe, catered […]
You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like? Lately, I’ve been watching architectural shows the way some people watch cooking competitions. Wide-eyed. Slightly dramatic. Fully aware that I do not, in fact, have Michelin-star money or, in my case, Oshatz or Aires […]
