There comes a point in every day when you start to question not just what time it is, but what day it even is. Today was one of those days. You know the kind where you’re running around like a headless chicken, except this chicken is also holding […]
What’s the trait you value most about yourself? I recently stumbled across some startling numbers. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), fewer than 10% of U.S. 13-year-olds read for pleasure “almost every day.” Let that sink in. Back in 2012, it was 27%. By 2020, […]
Why do you blog? So here we are. This marks my 199th blog post in a row. Yes, 199! That’s consistency, dedication, maybe obsession, or maybe just the quiet sanity I get from tapping out my words in this cozy corner of the internet. Honestly, a few years […]
Today, I’ve got nothing. No hot take. No quirky dog anecdote. No spiritual epiphany served with a side of sass and sarcasm. Just… a big swirling mental block wrapped in noise-canceling headphones.

There I was, ready to write the most insightful, witty, culturally relevant blogpost ever. It was going to be fire. Viral. A masterpiece. And then… Poof.Gone. All my thoughts flew off with the birdies outside my window. Literally. One minute I was brewing a metaphor, the next, I […]
Yesterday, I had every intention to sit down and hammer out my daily musings. I truly did. But the universe—or more accurately, exhaustion—had other plans. No witty commentary, no profound insights, just sheer fatigue. By the time I realized I hadn’t written, it was too late, and the […]
What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to? For years, I’ve toyed with the idea of taking that big leap—starting my own business or writing a book (or two). I’ve got business names scribbled down, websites reserved, and rough business plans saved […]
