Happy New Year! The start of a new year always makes me pause, even if only for a hot minute, to reflect on the people and places that have carried us through. As we step into 2026, my hope is that it brings good health, lots of laughter, love, and moments we’ll look back on…

It’s untranslatable, really, but I can tell you it exists in some form in nearly every culture: la sobremesa. It’s all about those slow, sweet moments after the meal when you just hang out at the table, enjoying the last sips of your drink, waiting for el cafecito, telling stories, laughing, and just being together….

Here’s a photo that really says it all. One moment frozen in time, but packed with meaning. In this picture, the man looks like he’s carrying all the invisible weight we all know too well. Plans, deadlines, responsibilities, the constant balancing act. And right beside him is a dog who’s just thrilled to be part…

Family and friends, this is the season to be extra giving, extra forgiving, and extra thankful. This Thanksgiving, I want to share some words I came across recently: “Thankfulness takes the sting out of adversity. It opens your heart to His presence and your mind to His thoughts. You may still be in the same…

Don’t know about you, but the nonstop stream of medicine ads is driving me up a wall. And if you do happen to have the condition they’re talking about, hearing those side effects over and over is enough to scare the life out of you. Half the time you’re sitting there thinking, “I didn’t have…
