Some people treat rest like it’s dessert. You only get it if you’ve eaten your vegetables, cleared your inbox, fixed your soul, walked the dog, and saved the world twice. And even then—maybe—you’re allowed to sit down. For ten minutes. As a treat. But let me be clear: […]
I just got back from Antigua—and yes, I know it’s officially Antigua and Barbuda, but I didn’t make it to the second half of that party, so let’s just focus on where I was, shall we? Here’s the thing: I had no itinerary. No spreadsheet. No bullet-pointed “Top […]
This week, I kept a promise. Not to a friend, not to a coworker, not to the dentist I keep ghosting. No, this one was just for me. And let me tell you—keeping a promise to yourself hits different. Like finding the perfect avocado on the first try […]
Well, I did it. I bought a hammock. Not just any hammock. A two-person, takes-up-most-of-the-balcony, vaguely-intimidating-yet-totally-inviting hammock.

In the tapestry of lazy Sundays, where time seems to stretch its limbs and yawn with leisure, I embarked on an unexpected adventure. The mission: locating my mysteriously vanished shredder. It turned out I had morphed it into a makeshift garbage can—a feat of absent-minded creativity that even […]
In the hustle and bustle of life, there comes a moment when the mind yearns for respite, a chance to simply sit and rest. It’s in these quiet moments that the mind, unburdened by the demands of the day, finds solace in the art of restful dreaming. The […]

I’m not going to lie. The last few weeks have been intense on a high number of levels. It’s been hard work-wise. It’s been difficult in terms of pulling out knives from one’s back. It’s been hard trying to plan the perfect outing for my son. Everything requires […]
