This morning, as I watched the leaves fall in my backyard, I was hit with a familiar feeling—the quiet passing of time. It’s funny how the changing of the seasons always brings that reminder, as if nature is nudging us to pause and take stock. Just this week, […]
What are you most proud of in your life? In a job interview a long time ago, I was asked a question that tends to invite the cheesier side of life: “What are you most proud of?” The first thing that came to mind, without hesitation, was being […]
What’s your favorite word? There’s a moment in *Gilmore Girls* that never fails to surprise me: Jess, the brooding rebel, gets attacked by a swan. A swan. Of all the things. It’s the kind of scene that makes you pause mid-laugh because, honestly, who ever imagines a swan […]
