94 Years of Wisdom

Last week, I flew to Massachusetts to visit my 94-year grandmother in the hospital. Let me tell you about this amazing woman. Barbara, Auntie B, or Gramma to us grandkids, was born in 1930 to first-generation Newfoundlanders. (No wonder I love the music of ​Alan Doyle​ (and ​Great Big Sea​), it’s in my DNA!) Gramma was a preschool teacher for 22...

You’re overcomplicating it.

I know you’re overcomplicating things, because everybody does. Including me, the nerd who studies this stuff for a living. I shared a quick story the other day on ​Threads​ (and ​Instagram​): A few thousand people resonated, and I couldn’t help but chuckle ​at the replies​. Magdalena jokingly said it best: When life asks me to juggle chainsaws...

Ask For Help

For a long time, I took a lot of pride in never needing to rely on other people. I am a conflict-avoidant people-pleaser, so I would often pride myself on NEVER allowing myself to rely on others.

The Warrior Emotion

Nick Cave has taken over my life for the past month. Mr. Cave has been putting out music since the mid 1980s with his band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. He’s also a writer, screenwriter, poet, and all-around interesting dude. His band’s most famous song, “​Red Right Hand​,” serves as the theme song for the show Peaky Blinders, which I have been watching...
