Listen, I’m sprawled in my bathtub, pruning like a philosophical raisin, and the world’s out there doing its best impression of a five-alarm dumpster fire. Bubbles are popping, my lavender bath bomb is fizzing out like my last shred of motivation, and my brain’s serving up a word […]
It’s officially summer. The season of sunshine, sandals, and spontaneous joy. The time of year when, according to every influencer and CVS seasonal aisle, I’m supposed to be glowing, hydrated, energized, and possibly twirling in a field of wildflowers. But here I am staring down a lukewarm to-do […]
What notable things happened today? This morning started like any other. Coffee in hand. Dogs pacing around with their usual “we must defend the yard at all costs” energy. And then I saw it. A familiar sight: a groundhog waddling across my backyard like it had rent to […]
There’s a meme floating around that hit me right in the frontal lobe. You know the one. “The grass is greener on the other side because it’s fake.” Boom. Truth bomb in font size 16. Let’s talk about that seductive little patch of green across the metaphorical fence. […]

The other day I came across a meme. One of those bold beach signs with even bolder advice:“Don’t even think about looking backwards. You’re not going that way.” Okay, motivational sign. I see you. I get it. Forward motion. Eyes on the prize. Focus, future, yadda yadda. But […]
This morning, as I sipped my coffee and prepared to wrangle my inbox (and my spirit), I was reminded of a delicious little tweet from back in January 2022. Sam Altman, the AI guy with vision and caffeine-fueled ambition, had just introduced the world to ChatGPT. “Give it […]
This past weekend, the French Open gave us more than just tennis. It gave us a gritty, sweaty, glorious masterclass in resilience. Both Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz reminded us that it’s not how you start, but how you finish. And oh, did they finish. Alcaraz clawed his […]
