Raised by Wonder: A National Geographic Childhood
When I was little, I spent hours in a sitting room that didn’t quite belong to the rest of my grandparents’ house. The carpet was pale ivory, and the furniture the kind of ornate Victorian stylings that made you sit up a little straighter, even as a kid. My grandmother’s…

A Better Way to Focus: The Magic of Shared Energy
The first time I encountered the concept of ‘co-working’ was in the 2010s. A friend joined a group of his peers and, together, they leased a small office – not to collaborate, but to have a dedicated space to convene while working. No meetings. No talking necessary. Just showing up…

Venus and Mercury in Aries: A Retrograde Reflection
The thing about retrogrades is that people love to complain about them. They’re the cosmic scapegoat for every lost text, email, or conversation that goes sideways. And I get it – I used to blame them regularly, too, for unfinished projects or the clutter that {always} managed to pile up…

Growing Up with Gardens: The Wisdom of Sustainability
I grew up surrounded by gardens – lush, practical, ever-present. When I was little, my parents kept a classic Southern kitchen garden in our backyard – tomatoes, bell peppers, okra, and the like.
