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: […]
Is it just me, or is this year sprinting like it’s late for its own meeting? Every time I blink, it’s Monday again. Monday is showing up at the front door like an over-caffeinated guest who doesn’t knock—just barges in, rearranges your to-do list, and reminds you of […]
People love to say, “The universe has a plan.” Okay. But has anyone checked if the universe filed the right paperwork? Because sometimes it feels like my request for cosmic justice got stuck in interstellar HR. No call back. No follow-up email. Nada. But here’s the thing: the […]
There’s a Turkish proverb that has been tumbling around my brain like mismatched socks in the dryer: “When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king. The palace becomes a circus.” Now, I don’t know for certain if it’s Turkish, but frankly, I don’t care. […]

Monday mornings tend to have us daydreaming, right? Today, I found myself fixated on black-billed magpies. Yes, magpies! These little birds are seriously underrated. Not only are they drop-dead gorgeous with their sleek black-and-white tuxedo look, but they’re social geniuses. They can recognize themselves in the mirror (let […]
What skills or lessons have you learned recently? As a Gen Xer, I’ve realized there’s value in staying current on music trends, not just for nostalgia’s sake, but for practical reasons, too. Whether I’m chatting with my son, keeping up with younger colleagues, or just needing a fun […]
Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? Funny how life works. This time last year, I had a clear vision of what today would look like. I really did. Everyone told me that I could coadt this year because I had been so awesome. I […]
