At night, I flick on my little red lamp. Not because I’m running a secret photography darkroom. Not because I’m signaling passing ships. And no, it’s not because I’ve suddenly decided to become the neighborhood’s “woman of intrigue.” It’s because that red glow does something to me. It […]
There’s something oddly humbling about thunder. You can be mid-sentence, mid-bite of your overpriced salad, or mid-scroll of your phone, and then BOOM! Mother Nature drops the mic. It’s the kind of sound that doesn’t ask for your attention, it demands it. Lately, though, thunder hasn’t just been […]
This morning, I locked eyes with my dog mid-coffee sip, and I swear he tilted his head and judged me. Not in a cute “aw you’re my human” way. No. It was more of a “hmm…interesting choices you’re making for yourself lately” kind of tilt. And I’ll be […]
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 […]

Not another bark, […]
If Monday is the day we collectively loathe and Friday is the golden child we all wait for, then where does that leave Tuesday? Smack dab in the middle of a week that’s neither fresh nor close to its end. A little lost, a little neglected—Tuesdays have an […]
They say there’s something magical about the number seven, but let’s take a moment to consider the curious charm of 33. It’s a number that doesn’t get enough credit, hanging out quietly in the middle of our numerical landscape. Yet, when you dig into it, 33 is anything […]
It’s Friday night, and I’m pondering one of life’s great mysteries: where in the world is my favorite coffee mug? You know, the one with the chipped handle that has somehow become a part of my identity? The one that seems to have more mileage than my gym […]
