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...

I used to religiously set New Year’s resolutions. I’d write them down, full of hope and determination, and by mid-January, I’d practically forgotten what they even were. Nothing got accomplished. Until I had a breakthrough. I realized the winter solstice is the true...

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...
