A concept I’ve been thinking about lately: if you’re not getting better at something, you’re probably getting worse at it. Lots of applications to this, from skills of all kinds to just how you show up as a human every day.

After being encouraged by influencers to “love your work,” some aspiring girl bosses have discovered that work does not always love them back.

So sad to hear about Heather Armstrong. Anyone who’s ever published a blog—of any kind—was influenced by the trail she blazed. We are all better because of her candor and bravery.

Last night I dreamed I "found" two chapters of my book manuscript that haven't actually been written yet. I was really excited for about 10 seconds after waking up.

What are some good things about dying? I’ll start: - Better than not having been born - Whatever you want to do has a built-in deadline - Whatever pain you experience will one day end - Possibility for afterlife or reincarnation - If you're reading this, right now you're alive!
