What skills or lessons have you learned recently? Have you ever been gut-punched? I used to think it was just a cliché, something people said to describe minor disappointments. Then, several years ago, it happened to me. A phone call shattered my world, blindsiding me with a betrayal […]
Ah, Christmas Eve—normally a time of cozy warmth, festive cheer, and the smell of pine needles. But here I am, traveling the day before Christmas. Why, you ask? Because that’s what my airline points allowed for! Genius? Maybe not. It all started with American Airlines facing a ground […]
It’s that special time of year—one filled with twinkling lights, family traditions, and way too many sugar cookies. But in our home, we’re not just decked out for Christmas.
