Some people treat rest like it’s dessert. You only get it if you’ve eaten your vegetables, cleared your inbox, fixed your soul, walked the dog, and saved the world twice. And even then—maybe—you’re allowed to sit down. For ten minutes. As a treat. But let me be clear: […]
Some folks hear the word “boundary” and act like you just slapped their emotional support latte out of their hand. “Why are you being mean?” they ask, as if choosing not to carry their chaos is somehow a federal offense. But let me say it louder for the […]
Where’s the remote? Under the dachshund. Where’s my phone? Also under the dachshund. Where’s the one document I need for this meeting that starts in 2 minutes? You guessed it: dachshund butt territory. He sits on the things I need most. But maybe, just maybe, he’s onto something. […]
Ah, Monday. The great illusionist. The David Blaine of the calendar. One moment it’s 8:00 a.m. and you’re mapping out your grand plans, whispering motivational quotes to yourself like you’re about to scale Everest in heels.

Last week I wrote about my dogs’ live of sitting on the remote control. Then it got me thinking about how I’d like to dedicate a weekly column to them. Let’s see if I can indeed keep it going. I’ll probably write more than just one post about […]
NASA’s Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams went up for a week and ended up floating in space for more than nine months. Can you imagine? They probably packed for a brief adventure, maybe a few freeze-dried meals, some cool space jumps, and instead got stranded in the cosmos. […]
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again—I need a vacation, STAT! Seriously, I’ve been talking about it for what feels like ages, dropping hints like confetti at a parade, yet somehow I’m still here… at my desk… not sipping a fruity drink on a beach or […]
Some moments hit you out of nowhere, in the most unexpected ways. This morning, as I prepared for the usual walk to work, my son paused to make sure I was bundled up and had the right boots to avoid slipping on the ice. His thoughtfulness struck me—here […]
Ah, Friday. The day when I realize I’ve spent the entire week drowning in a sea of decisions, and yet, here I am, still afloat—barely. It’s like a never-ending game of mental gymnastics. Decisions. Decisions everywhere. Should I answer that email now or save it for Monday? Should […]
