7 Money Lessons I Learned Only After Being Broke
I'll never forget the sound of my card being declined at the grocery store. The beep that echoed through the checkout line, followed by the cashier's sympathetic look and the impatient shuffle of people behind me. I had $12 worth of pasta, sauce, and eggs in front of me. My bank account had $3.47.

The Lake That Refused to Reflect Anger
The town of Belora grew around a wide, clear lake that had once been its pride. In earlier days, people gathered at its edge to wash clothes, share meals, and watch the sky turn gold at sunset.

The Salt in His Veins
Elias felt it first as a whisper, a strange, persistent hum beneath the dull throb of his life. Not a yearning for adventure, not some vague wanderlust, but a deep, bone-aching ache for a specific kind of cold, a particular smell of salt and peat and ancient stone.

Goals for 2026
With 2026 starting, many people are making resolutions. I’m not a huge fan of the word resolutions because I feel like that sets you up for failure. Every year that I’ve written resolutions, I haven’t worked on them past January. When I am ready to do my monthly goals, I use those yearly ones to develop the new ones. At the end of each month, I evaluate how I’ve done and make my goals for the next month. So instead of resolutions this year, I wrote up my goals for the year and then for January.
