Never too wealthy to consider protection - Read

Aug 2, 2024 | healthcareandprotection.com | Shelley Read

We are all probably aware of high-profile cases where following an accident or serious illness, seemingly wealthy people have struggled to cope financially.

I am one of those people who feels both peace and excitement simply in the presence of books. Independent bookstores literally help regulate my nervous system. Even the book racks in Target feel like safe harbor in the sea of home goods and exercise equipment. As a result, I buy more books than I can ever hope to read. Still, summer is a great time for reading, and I’m looking forward to many hours curled up (or stretched out) with a book in hand.

Good morning, Colorado. I’ve been steadily working through our Thanksgiving leftovers. But it’s hard to get rid of that much turkey with only two people — especially when one rarely eats meat. There are only so many times you can have turkey sandwiches for lunch. Thankfully, an exciting looking congee recipe on New York Times Cooking (🔑) has caught my eye. But I’m still on the hunt for more meal ideas so any recommendations you may have would be greatly appreciated. Just send me a note.
