Why are undefined monsters the scariest of all?

Have you ever noticed how monsters are scariest when they're hidden? It makes me think of the movie The Mist (from a Stephen King novel). The monsters are terrifying but the worst part is you can’t see what’s coming. Or there’s battle tactics where smoke grenades are thrown to block visibility. Or speaking of scary movies and horror films, one of the reasons things are so scary is because you can’t really see them. There are flashes here or there, or shapes hidden in the dark, only partly...

Hi Reader, Now that the frenetic energy of gearing up for back-to-school is passed, my boys and I are now settling into our new routines. The temperature is starting to turn cooler, and the rain is coming (I’m in the Seattle area). Honestly, I find it kind of difficult to focus in August. My brain is still in summer mode and the kids are still home from school. We’re getting school supplies ready but I don’t have the rhythm yet. Now I’m settled in and ready to look at wrapping up Q3 and see...

Hi, Reader how's it going!? It's been a while. I took my boys to Oregon for a family reunion…it was so much fun for them to catch up with cousins, some of whom they'd never met. New month…new opportunity to start again so I'm trying something new! My organizing process has four steps, and a month has four weeks. I'm creating a content calendar of 12 tips for each step. Then the two months that have an extra week, I'll do something fun and random for that 5th week. So this month (August),...

Hi there, Reader When my kids were babies and toddlers (especially the year I had a 3 year old and twin 1 year olds), someone said something to me that has always stuck with me: “The days are long, but the years are short.” I had one of those moments yesterday. Even though every day seems like a never-ending stream of tasks, I was looking at my calendar and realized that July 1st is literally the halfway point of 2025. Halfway. Through the entire year. When did that happen?! It feels like we...

Could you click on the poll below to help me prioritize? What would you like me...
