Good morning and happy Saturday,

This week, I took a day off from work. I’m one of those parents who loathes when school resumes, stealing my children away for the day—even if I am usually in the office those eight hours—so years ago I started the small tradition.

It was a wonderful day, and, much as I am filled with joy, I can’t help but wonder if I could afford a lifestyle like this through my writing. One day, perhaps.

In the meantime, here’s this week’s selection.

Living in the Social Archipelagos

November 19, 2025

An older post, but one of my most popular. An essay about losing a job, reminding me that it's ok to be on the outside of things sometimes.

As always, if you enjoy any of these articles, all I ask is that you give them a like or a share—I’d happily take both.

God bless,

-V
