My 3-Year Experiment in Passive Income: What Actually Worked
Three years ago, I hit a wall. It wasn’t a dramatic financial crash or a job loss. It was a slow, creeping exhaustion—the kind that comes from trading every waking hour for a paycheck and having nothing left over at the end of the month but anxiety. I was stuck in the hamster wheel, and the internet was screaming at me that the only escape was something called “passive income.”

From Faith to Fiction: The Two Lives of Juana Gallo
Juana Gallo has been romanticized in Mexican cinema as a fierce revolutionary warrior, but the reality tells a strikingly different story. The true Juana was a devout woman whose bravery manifested not on battlefields, but in her unwavering defense of her Catholic faith during Mexico's most turbulent years.

Are We Selfish — Or Just Survivors of a Broken System?
When you speak to the average person on the streets out there, they’ll tell you all they care about is how to afford their next meal and that of their family. Beyond that they have very little care for others and what they have going on in their lives. At first I thought people were just selfish and maybe somewhat evil but with more reflection I’ve come to understand that they are just victims of a societal system designed to prioritize individuals much more than the collective.

Good Samaritan Laws, Plainly
Most people have heard the phrase “Good Samaritan law” and treat it as a vague safety net. They assume there is some invisible legal blanket that protects anyone who steps in to help a stranger in trouble. The reality is less cinematic. In the United States, there is no single federal Good Samaritan law that covers every scenario. There is a patchwork system of state statutes, case law, and narrow federal rules. Each piece aims at the same goal: convince ordinary people they can try to help without getting dragged into court for making an honest mistake.

The Night That Invented Christmas
Often celebrated as the first Christmas poem ever written, “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” later known as “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” holds a singular place in cultural history. Written in 1822 and published anonymously on December 23, 1823, in the Troy Sentinel newspaper of New York, the poem introduced a complete and enchanting Christmas narrative unlike any that had come before. Earlier hymns and seasonal verses certainly existed, yet none offered a fully realized story centered on a magical Christmas Eve visit. This poem changed how the holiday would be imagined, celebrated, and shared for generations.

The Art of the Slide
Moving diagonally downward through the snow, at accelerated speeds, on a piece of plastic, wood, or metal. Why is it fun? In the colder months, when a good snow falls, I take my children to a hill, and we participate in this rite of fun.

Skiing: The Ritual of Winter
First tracks on a bit of fresh powder, a dusting of white still clinging to the trail-edging pine trees, the soft whirr of the chair lift, the quick shuuush of skis passing by as I stand and soak it all up. This is why I got up early, made the drive, hauled the equipment, bought the ski pass. I've been skiing most of my life, and I can't imagine not going through all of this bother, because the reward is so splendid. It just gets harder through the years.

"I Manipulated Men with My Eyes for Ten Years—Until I Met the Doctor Who Didn't Understand My Seductive Gaze. AI-Generated.
On my thirtieth birthday, I touched up my lipstick in the hospital waiting area. The woman in the mirror expertly smudged her lip line with her fingertip, eyelashes casting half-moon shadows beneath her eyes. This had been my instinct for ten years—like a hedgehog raising its spines, a clam shell snapping shut. Until the doctor across from me pushed up his glasses: "What's with your eyes? You keep blinking."
