I used to deflect every single compliment. If someone told me I looked great or praised my work, I’d brush it off with an awkward laugh or quick, “Oh, it’s nothing.” Appreciation made me uncomfortable. I mistakenly thought I was being humble — but, in truth, I didn’t...

From High School Flashbacks to Eclipse Healing Even now, upperclassmen can make me feel like I’m back in high school—awkward, nerdy, and definitely not part of the “cool kids.” Luckily, my husband balances out my introversion, so I get to be a cool kid by association....

Hiking up the back side of Smuggler, I came across two, nervous-looking, Italian twin sisters. Worried about running into bears, I assured them they were safe — as we know, it’s relatively common to see a bear but beyond rare to be attacked by one. Fears assuaged, we...

When I first learned that Regulus, one of the ancient four royal stars, was rising at the exact moment of my birth, I was thrilled. I thought, I’m so special. I’m destined for big things. After all, Regulus means “little king” — or in my case, “little queen.” Knowing...
