I have a confession that would make any dermatologist sigh deeply: I do not care for the cold. Actually, let’s be real. I straight-up wage war with the cold. When that first icy breeze hits in November, my skin immediately files an HR complaint. I get hives. Rashes. […]
There are places you want to visit because they’re famous such as Paris, Rome, and Walmart the day after Thanksgiving. Actually, I’ve never done the latter. And then there are places you want to visit because a movie you might have watched once (or maybe just saw the […]
Every weekday morning, I step onto the same train car like it’s the opening scene of a movie. A psychological thriller meets slow-burn social experiment. Somewhere between the first and last stop, a small community forms in that it that runs on caffeine, quiet judgment, and the delicate […]
I recently went to Costa Rica and unlike my usual adventures, I didn’t make a checklist. There were no must-see waterfalls, no zipline excursions, no meticulously scheduled day trips. In fact, I did something truly radical. I chilled. It wasn’t entirely my idea, of course. My son made […]
