While the great shift to digital has greatly impacted physical book sales, consumers haven’t lost their taste for the touch of a real, tangible book: Last year, NPD BookScan reported that in 2018, sales of print books were up 1.3 percent compared to 2017. Books, it seems, are moving off the endangered species list that has claimed newspapers and other print media. But books, like all physical stuff, need a place to go, and here, dear reader is where I profoundly struggle. I’m an avid book collec…

This past year it occurred to me that for the first time in my freelance writing and editing career, if not the entirety of my adult working life, that I am doing pretty okay financially. Big ticket moves like buying a house or even paying off the five-year car loan aren’t yet on the table, but I’ve alleviated almost all credit card debt and have contributed more to my savings into my retirement fund. “If I keep on this upward trajectory, imagine where I could be in ten years from now, when I’m…

It’s 1 a.m. on Sunday, where I am dog-sitting alone for my aunt in a big, 80-year-old house nestled high in the hills of Los Angeles. I should be in bed, but the truth is I’m ever so faintly scared to death. I’m staying in a home just blocks away from one of the city’s most infamous sites: that of the hillside strangler.

On Sunday, we’ll turn our clocks back an hour, marking the end of daylight saving time (DST). For many, including myself, the transition is a welcome one. Who couldn’t use a bonus hour of sleep? Sleep experts generally concur that the end of DST is a good thing — especially for those of us who suffer from sleep deprivation and might really need that extra hour to build back up their sleep bank. There’s also the scientific argument that DST is potentially disruptive to our wellbeing. “Circadian r…

Ten years ago, if you’d asked the average young job seeker what they wanted most in a company, you would have heard terms like “competitive salary”, “good benefits” and “opportunity to move up the ladder.” You’d have been less likely to hear phrases such as “corporate responsibility”, “diversity initiatives” and “gender pay equity”. It’s not that such details didn’t matter in the past, it’s just that they weren’t top priority the way they are for today’s millennial and Gen Z workforce. “It’s har…

On Monday, Sam Sargent, founder of Blak International, a private charter flight company operating in Australia and New Zealand, helped conduct an emergency evacuation flight out of Canberra, one of several areas in Australia where a state of emergency has been declared since the deadly wildfires broke out this past fall. At least 24 people (including three volunteer firefighters) have been killed in the climate change-fueled disaster, and more than 6.3 million hectares (or 15.6 million acres) o…

My well of positive thinking has run dry and I struggle to see how our nation, so painfully divided, can ever come together. So this Martin Luther King Day, I’ve decided I’ll focus on replenishing my faith in the good of humankind. What better day to aim to rejuvenate hope than on a day dedicated to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the visionary and activist who helped pioneer the civil rights movement? I’ve brought this idea of recognizing MLK Day as a period to renew one’s sense of h…
