Mountain Vibes

I sipped my Peachy Palmer (a mix of black peach tea and lemonade) and wandered the historic streets with absolutely no agenda. Honestly, that’s my favorite way to travel. I wandered into a bookstore and slowly made my way through the aisles until one book caught my attention: The Book of Enoch. I tucked it underContinue reading “Mountain Vibes”

L’ Art d’Observer Vibes

The View from Here May 2026… The other day, I found myself doing what I often do: observing my own life. I was sitting around a table with friends, maps scattered between us, as we planned our summer travel adventures. It was then that I remembered something I’d somehow forgotten: despite everything, my life isContinue reading “L’ Art d’Observer Vibes”

Fresh Perspective Vibes

A Change of Scenery Sometimes the cure for feeling lost is simply to wander somewhere new. Change the scenery. Get on a different wavelength. Walking the historic streets of Montpellier, I found myself slowing down enough to notice everything: the centuries-old architecture, the fountains tucked into quiet squares, the effortless beauty woven into everyday life.Continue reading “Fresh Perspective Vibes”

Back on My Vibes

Did You Miss Me? I know it’s been awhile. For the past few weeks, every time I sat down to write, the words just…weren’t there. Not because I didn’t have thoughts, but because I couldn’t quite figure out which ones deserved to be said out loud. Writer’s block has a funny way of convincing youContinue reading “Back on My Vibes”

Glass House Vibes

Judgment Is in the Eye of the Beholder There we were, seated around a table at one of the hottest new restaurants in town. The atmosphere was giving quiet luxury. The conversation, however, was giving reality television drama. At one point, I glanced at the person seated next to me as if to say, “Are youContinue reading “Glass House Vibes”

Binary Vibes

The Problem with Black-and-White Thinking For years, I thought being rushed was my ultimate pet peeve. Turns out, I was wrong. It’s black-and-white thinking. The belief that everything falls neatly into one category or another. Good or bad. Right or wrong. Victim or villain. Success or failure. Friend or enemy. The reality is that mostContinue reading “Binary Vibes”

Shake It Up Vibes

Change Is in the Air: A New Season, A New Vibe If you’re a frequent flyer around here, you may have noticed the vibe has changed a little since your last visit. I decided it was time to freshen things up for the summer. Try some new topics. Explore some different ideas. Maybe even surpriseContinue reading “Shake It Up Vibes”

Magic Vibes

Internal validation and external validation are not the same thing, but a lot of us spend years confusing them. External validation is temporary. It’s the dopamine hit when your phone lights up. The compliment. The likes on the post. The “good job” from your boss. The text back from the person you secretly handed wayContinue reading “Magic Vibes”

Piña Colada Vibes

“The coconut milk is off.” Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t seen The White Lotus Season 3, spoilers ahead. Sometimes when something feels off to me, or something goes wrong, I will say this phrase out loud: “The coconut milk is off.” Most of the time, people just tilt their head and stare at me. But occasionally, aContinue reading “Piña Colada Vibes”
