Some days, you’re the dog wagging your tail, just vibing in the sun. Other days, you hear the barking. Oh, the barking. It’s constant. It’s performative. It’s echoing in the hallway, bouncing off cubicle walls, seeping through email threads and Slack messages. > “We should totally revamp this […]
Let’s get one thing straight: a horse isn’t climbing a tree anytime soon. Not today, not tomorrow, not even if you bribe it with organic apples and serenade it with Taylor Swift’s latest album. A horse is built to gallop across fields, not swing from branches like a […]
I recently stumbled across a quote I had scribbled down at some point in my life, buried in a note, between grocery lists and half-baked blog titles: “A narrow mind and a fat head invariably come on the same person.”— Zig Ziglar Wait, what? I blinked. Then blinked […]
I woke up this morning, groggy-eyed, and went through my usual routine: coffee, a quick glance at the headlines, and of course, letting my dogs out into the yard. But today, something stopped me in my tracks. No, it wasn’t a hawk lurking around waiting to snack on […]
