Australian Open Nights That Broke Hearts and Made History
Every January, Melbourne changes its rhythm. The heat hangs heavy in the air, the nights stretch longer, and something emotional settles over the city.

Creatures of the Night. Content Warning.
~~August~~ Technicolor lights flash and pulse in accordance to the rumbling bass thumping from the towering speakers across the dark room. Bodies pack the central space upon a raised floor built from illuminating panels like sardines, bumping and grinding against one another like headless chickens. Light scatters through the club, reflecting off of the mirror ball that dangles from the ceiling. The lights become diffused by the faint sheen of smoke that floats through the room, spat out by the machines hidden in the DJ’s booth and the walls like a victim of Poe. The thick taste of sweat and revelry swims through the air, tinged with mixed drinks and bad decisions.

Yet, quietly and consistently, the Kuwaiti dinar (KWD) holds the title of the strongest currency in the world. Valued at over 3.25 U.S. dollars per unit, the dinar’s strength is not accidental.

I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.

Weather in Morocco in August By Morocco Family Vacation
When I first planned our summer trip to Morocco in August, I had mixed feelings. I knew Morocco was hot in the summer, but I wasn’t sure how my kids would handle the heat. Traveling with two children my 7-year-old and 10-year-old means considering naps, hydration, sun protection, and activity pacing more than anything else. I wanted an adventure, but I also wanted it to be safe and enjoyable for them.

You Don’t Miss Them, You Miss Who You Were With Them
I used to think I missed them. That the tight feeling in my chest, the sudden wave of nostalgia, the random memories that showed up uninvited were all proof that I still wanted them back. I thought longing meant love, and sadness meant unfinished business.
