She was full of energy
Some of the most exciting people we meet are the ones we unexpectedly meet. On a night out with friends after feasting tahini and arepas, then feeling too full to do anything, we headed out to the city to meet up with some friends.

A good friend
Sometimes that’s all we need: one or two good friends in life. Somebody we can share stories, thoughts, and feelings with no fear of being judged.

Repost: Your Big Idea
It’s probably not completely original. It’s probably not breathtaking in scope. It’s probably not immediately popular. But… it’s definitely worth pursuing, consistently and persistently for years and years. If you care. If it’s generous and helpful and worth the journey. All the big ideas that made a difference follow this pattern. Source https://seths.blog/2021/01/your-big-idea/
Refinance
Why is refinancing a home complicated, time consuming, and costly? Its closing costs are similar to those of buying a new home. Same with the process - it’s very similar. It’s painful and time consuming. Especially if it’s your first time refinancing your home and are looking for all the alternatives, pros and cons. Add … Continue reading Refinance
