While it sounds like an overstatement, I can confidently say that The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin made me think more about my life and how I live it than any book I have read in the last ten years. This book was a best seller 5 years ago, but I somehow missed it when it… read more

It’s hard to believe summer is halfway over. Say it ain’t so! Summer is without a doubt my favorite season in the Northeast. I want to soak up every minute of it until it’s over.
