30 pounds lost while lacking self-control
While I’ve never been particularly fit, neither am I overweight. I’ve been 150 lbs since college. I was 150 during my wedding. My thermostat was set at 150, and while it swung up and down a few pounds, I’d guess it was me.

The Nostalgia Economy: How We're Profit from the Past
In a world where change feels like it's happening faster than ever, the past has become a surprisingly lucrative commodity. From vinyl records and retro gaming consoles to reboots of favorite TV shows and '90s fashion trends, it often feels like we live in an era where the past is as profitable as the future. The result is a phenomenon that many refer to as the nostalgia economy, at once a yearning for simpler times and a clever strategy by industries to make money off our sentimental ties.

The Illusion of Relationships: Not Everything is as It Seems
The Illusion of Relationships: Not Everything is as It Seems It is rightly said, "Not everything is as it seems, and that is why the world gets deceived." This observation holds particularly true in the context of relationships. Relationships, by their very nature, evoke expectations of trust, support, and love. However, the reality is often far from what we believe. Many relationships, especially those we hold dear, can turn out to be superficial, deceptive, and, at times, downright harmful.

The Language of the Heart
The Language of the Heart Words—so simple, so effortlessly spoken—yet they carry an immeasurable power within them. Like a master key, they can unlock the most stubborn doors of the mind when used wisely and at the right moment. On the other hand, words spoken hastily or insensitively can lead to silence, misunderstandings, and the permanent shutting of those very doors.

The Elves and The Shoemaker by The Brothers Grimm
A shoemaker, by no fault of his own, had become so poor that at last he had nothing left but leather for one pair of shoes. So in the evening, he cut out the shoes which he wished to begin to make the next morning, and as he had a good conscience, he lay down quietly in his bed, commended himself to God, and fell asleep. In the morning, after he had said his prayers, and was just going to sit down to work, the two shoes stood quite finished on his table. He was astounded, and knew not what to say to it. He took the shoes in his hands to observe them closer, and they were so neatly made that there was not one bad stitch in them, just as if they were intended as a masterpiece. Soon after, a buyer came in, and as the shoes pleased him so well, he paid more for them than was customary, and, with the money, the shoemaker was able to purchase leather for two pairs of shoes. He cut them out at night, and next morning was about to set to work with fresh courage; but he had no need to do so, for, when he got up, they were already made, and buyers also were not wanting, who gave him money enough to buy leather for four pairs of shoes. The following morning, too, he found the four pairs made; and so it went on constantly, what he cut out in the evening was finished by the morning, so that he soon had his honest independence again, and at last became a wealthy man. Now it befell that one evening not long before Christmas, when the man had been cutting out, he said to his wife, before going to bed, "What think you if we were to stay up to-night to see who it is that lends us this helping hand?" The woman liked the idea, and lighted a candle, and then they hid themselves in a corner of the room, behind some clothes which were hanging up there, and watched. When it was midnight, two pretty little naked men came, sat down by the shoemaker's table, took all the work which was cut out before them and began to stitch, and sew, and hammer so skilfully and so quickly with their little fingers that the shoemaker could not turn away his eyes for astonishment. They did not stop until all was done, and stood finished on the table, and they ran quickly away.
