How to Be A Better Person and Creative in 2024

How to Be A Better Person and Creative in 2024

I’ve been alarmed as I look at the regular rhythms & routines in our home as we relate to our phones & computers.

In these complicated times where we know so much, how do we respond? How do we make sense of it all?

Pumpkin Spice is Not a Flavor, It's a Season

Pumpkin Spice is Not a Flavor, It's a Season

"Pumpkin Spice" — introduced in 2003 by Starbucks as a limited-run, seasonal latte flavor — has expanded far beyond even food & drink to a completely pervasive, mostly-loved, theme of North American, autumnal culture. To celebrate "National Pumpkin Spice Day", I wanted to reflect on: Why is this flavor/smell/experience so popular?! And, what can we learn about ourselves as shoppers and consumers from the mighty impact of the PSL?
