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.

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 […]
