I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
What’s one small improvement you can make in your life? The other day, while scrolling aimlessly through a carousel of press clips, memes, and motivational coffee mug slogans, I paused. A young athlete, at a press conference, uttered something that I haven’t been able to shake: “When there […]
It’s mid-May, and I swear I just put away my winter coat. (Actually, I didn’t. It’s still hanging on that chair I promised would never become the laundry chair. Lies.) May, my special month, is supposed to feel like a slow sip of iced tea in the sun, […]
Is anything sacred anymore? Lately, it feels like Hollywood has made a very specific, very intentional editorial choice: to kill off its main characters. That’s righ! The ones we’ve rooted for, grown with, sometimes hated briefly but always come back to. Gone. Wiped out. Poisoned, ambushed, ghosted by […]
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 […]
It’s Mother’s Day, and I’m feeling all the things—joyful, grateful, wistful, and slightly amused by the strange turns life takes. May is already my power month—birthday, blooming flowers, celebratory energy—and Mother’s Day ties it all together like the perfect bow on an already loud, glittery gift. I love […]
Sometimes the big dog dreams he’s running. His paws twitch. His tail flicks. Sometimes he lets out a soft little “boof” — the sound of chasing something glorious through dog dreamland. Is it a squirrel? A cloud? A giant meatball rolling down the sidewalk? Who knows. But he […]
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 […]
There are moments when the shadows of the past feel heavier than the steps I’m trying to take forward. Moments when the echoes of those who doubted, dismissed, or even hoped for my downfall whisper a little too loudly in my mind. But here’s the truth I know […]
There are some songs that feel less like music and more like an excavation — digging through layers of past hurt, survival, grit, and finally, fragile hope. Kesha’s “Praying” is one of those songs for me. It’s not just a melody; it’s a full body memory, a tremor […]
Ah, May. My birth month. The month of mothers. The month of rebirth, blooms, and “let’s brunch in a garden” energy. I adore May with a passion reserved for vintage earrings and hot coffee on cool mornings. But this May? This May is testing me. Testing my will, […]
