There are certain places on Earth where time has no meaning. The Bermuda Triangle. Black holes. And the DMV. I learned this again the hard way this week. Now, I wasn’t new to the DMV rodeo. Just a few years ago I strutted in with an online appointment, […]
Do you trust your instincts? I usually trust my instincts. I’m a gut girl. A vibes-reader. A “I knew that before the words even came out your mouth” kind of person. My internal compass has always been so finely tuned that Google Maps could only hope to keep […]
I was half-watching, half petting my tiny dog, half-wondering why I always end up rewatching random Hallmark-adjacent Christmas movies (yes, my math is terrible), when I found myself tuning into Same Time, Next Christmas. And there was a plot twist for me in that the male lead was […]
Look, I’m not saying civilization is collapsing, but the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia just pressed its very last penny, and apparently that’s the butterfly wing flap that will send us spiraling into a cash-based Hunger Games. Yes, indeed. We’ll, maybe. Roll with me here. The penny, our copper-ish, […]

How do you manage screen time for yourself? There’s a new workplace epidemic spreading faster than a viral TikTok. That is that of “texting while meeting”. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that CEOs are fed up with it, and honestly, I get it. You look around the […]
