What happens when an attorney has to open an estate just before Christmas?
A lot of frantic rushing. Especially when one estate asset refuses to stay locked away, your imprisoned boss left no instructions, and you still haven’t bought a gift for your assistant.

I'd like to think that consumerism doesn't have a hold on me, but I saw what I thought was a labubu on the ground in the a parking lot and got excited. It turns out it was a pair of earmuffs, and the self reflection that followed has been brutal.

A day late, but the first time I heard Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was in the car with my family. My parents made us sit in silence as it played ("Don't talk while Gordon is singing") like we were sitting in church and not on our way to a Wendy's.

Of all of the changes my appearance has gone through over the years (weight gain, weight loss, new wrinkles, new tattoos, etc) the most humbling transformation, by far, has been growing out a pixie cut.

Snoop and Tom Brady acting like hating racists makes you as bad as a racist is a perfect representation of how this year is going so far.

There's something oddly exhilarating about taking a creative and professional leap while the world keeps burning around me. It's like being chased by a bear—terrifying, yes, but part of me secretly loves the rush.

Sometimes resistance is simply continuing to do the work that you were already doing which aligns with your values.

The amount of digital clutter I have created with my 3rd draft is so ridiculous that I just wrote a new outline on a piece of sketch paper. If ever decide to clear out my Notes, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to hire a whole audit team to do it 😂
