PHYSICAL

• Breville Tea Maker - I'm a tea snob and this little wonder steeps tea at the perfect temperature for the exactly correct amount of time for whatever your loose leaf preference is.

• Google Nest Speaker - Background music, alarms, timers, quick answers, reminders - the list goes on. A now indispensable part of my electronic world.

• Dual-heated foot warmer - My home office often gets a bit too cool. If the feet are warm, the rest of me is comfy.

DIGITAL

• Omnivore - My go-to read-it-later app. Uncluttered, easy-to-navigate, all the features I need.

• Perplexity - I use AI for research. Perplexity has cracked the code on doing this better than any other AI on the market. Big bonus: It actually cites its sources with links so you can confirm data/information yourself!

INVISIBLE

I was fortunate to have the epiphany early in life that we should aspire not for happiness (often elusive and always fleeting) but rather for contentment (far more achievable and lasting). It is easier to handle life's challenges and easier to find moments of genuine happiness from a starting place of contentment.
