Dear Friend, These are crazy, crazy times, especially for you. With no end in sight yet, I’m not going to sugarcoat this for you. You were robbed of opportunities, experiences, and even habits, and routine. Some of us have lost so much more: work, stability, sanity, even family. And no one really saw this coming […]
One of the things I really wanted when I started my first corporate job was to go to work in comfortable clothes, or not have to worry about how I dress for work and how I looked. Because of this, working remotely was something that really appealed to me. Now that we’ve been in various […]
I first had the opportunity to visit South Korea in 2015. As soon as I got off the plane and processed where I was, I really felt a connection with the place. This was odd for me because I knew almost nothing about Korea. At the time, I had only started watching some Korean dramas […]

I love big cats; they can be the softest cuddle buddies out there. But under all that fur, there’s a potential problem. Cat obesity is an issue and it’s usually hard to see in really fluffy breeds. If it remains unchecked, it can potentially be a bigger problem. When cats are obese they are at […]
Popcorn is a novelty snack and is extremely easy to prepare. This crunchy salty snack reminds me of camping and going to the movies. Preparing it is very straightforward, however, it does take a lot of patience. We didn’t invent popcorn. Old and dried kernels can pop on their own if exposed to a certain […]
Maintaining your focus in complete silence is difficult. If you’ve ever heard of deafening silence, you’d know what I’m talking about. Sometimes, it’s easier for thoughts to drift away when things are really quiet and that would be a problem if there’s a task that needs your complete attention. Another issue could be that external […]
Pain is one of the most common shared experiences we have as living beings. In fact, only one in 1 million people have no sensitivities to it, or cannot feel physical pain. Some of us are guilty of tolerating it, or brushing it aside when it’s not “too much”. But what exactly is pain, and […]
