I am awkward. I don't mean to be and I certainly don't want to be, but I am. One of the worst things I do is talk to much. If I'm in a situation where I don't want to be or I'm nervous I...blather. I will also talk too much when I am excited about... Continue Reading →
It is October 29th and the gimme-some-candy moment of Trick or Treat is almost upon us. I have been reading so very many books.

With that in mind, I want to shine a light on the non-fiction loves of my reading life with everyone. So, each Friday I plan to feature a scrumptious non-fiction... Continue Reading →
Mindfulness. Sharper Focus. Single-minded attention to task. Brain-training. Tidying-up! You can find a book about all of these things by just glancing through the bargain section at your local bookstore. But what about chaos and craziness and the unplanned events that make life interesting? That was what Tim Harford spend five years researching and writing for his book... Continue Reading →
It is Friday night. It has been a long week and you just want to relax. So, you turn on Netflix and you flip through the options, maybe start one or two, and find nothing that captures your interest?
