Zen or Zero F’s given? The eternal seesaw between ‘let it go’ and ‘let me tell you why this is unacceptable.’ The struggle between meditating with a cup of herbal tea and flipping a table because someone chews too loudly. Finding a balance between calm and chaos is like walking…
“YOLO (You Only Live Once), but let’s not make it ‘You Obviously Lacked Oversight.’ Taking risks is great – life is too short for ‘what ifs’ – but let’s make them the kind of risks that lead to great stories, not cautionary tales. Jump into the unknown, but maybe check…
We expect wisdom to come from profound life experiences, ancient books, or the occasional bearded Guru on a mountaintop. But let’s be real – sometimes life smacks us with wisdom when we least expect it, like when we accidentally walk into a glass door or try to microwave aluminum foil…

We’ve all been there – apologizing for things that don’t actually require an apology. “Sorry for bothering you” (when you are literally just asking a question), “Sorry for the mess” (in your own home, that you live in) “Sorry for existing” (because someone bumped into you). Somewhere along the way,…
