This practice not only enriches the lives of others but also deepens our own sense of appreciation for the connections and blessings we often take for granted.

"Retirement Bucket Lists: Because Nothing Says...

Ask The Garden Geek with Michael Crose ·

2024/11/15

Ah, the bucket list: the ultimate to-do list for people who think skydiving and visiting Machu Picchu will somehow make life complete. Let’s be real—most bucket list items are Instagram clichés and outrageously overpriced. You spend thousands to swim with dolphins, only to realize it’s just you, some tourists, and a dolphin that’s bored out of its mind. If you need a checklist to feel like your life has meaning, maybe rethink things. Spoiler alert: genuine memories aren’t made on a list.

Holiday Survival Guide

Ask The Garden Geek with Michael Crose ·

2024/11/04

Ah, the holiday season. Who doesn’t love it? The endless cheer, the over-the-top decorations, the forced joy. If you, like most people with a pulse, find it exhausting, here’s the master plan: do as little as possible, ignore social media, walk around so you don’t lose it, treat yourself to some me-time, and strategically avoid people. Just think of it as surviving a really overhyped, festive marathon. Remember, it’s the season of giving yourself a break. Cheers to barely making it through!

Look around – would Marie Kondo be proud, or would she faint? Here’s her guide to uncluttering, if you dared: start by dreaming your space clean, then confront your stash one category at a time. Keep only stuff that "sparks joy" (goodbye, junk mail, and gym gear). Fold clothes like a laundry ninja, give each trinket a home, and maybe – just maybe – show a little love to your stuff. Happy cleaning… or something.
