The Quote That Gets Me Out of Bed
The Morning I Wanted to Stay in Bed There was a morning, not too long ago, when I woke up and felt… heavy.

The Day Mrs. Callahan Took Over the Coffee Shop
It was a rainy Tuesday in late October, the kind of morning when even the air feels slow. I ducked into my favorite corner coffee shop — The Golden Bean — mostly for warmth, partly for the smell of fresh espresso that always seemed to hug you at the door.

Your Comfort Zone Has a Cost
For years, I thought staying comfortable was the same as staying happy. My life was safe. Predictable. I worked the same job for years, lived in the same apartment, had the same circle of friends.
