What? Just read. And weep. And wait for them to take my money. ““We do the prep. You be the chef.” Don’t worry, I will.

Prime Day. I’m here to tell you… It’s. a. trap. They know what they’re doing. And, yes, they got me. Amazon Prime is a savior in this first-world of mine. I always say “Own your privilege,” and “Privilege itself isn’t bad, it’s what you do with it.” Well, when it comes to the beauty that …
The Prison of Your Mind by Sean Stephenson.
I write this blog post from the comfort of my bed at 7:30 a.m. on a “#TeleFriday” as I like to call it – the second day of the week that I’m super grateful to be able to work my day job from home. I often spend days like these cleaning, surfing the internet, and …
