Something I'd rather you didn't know about me—and I'd rather I didn't know, either, for that matter—is that since last summer, when I broke my foot, I've gained about fifteen pounds. Technically, I've really only gained about ten, but since I was already up five from...

Have you ever had one of those lightbulb, aha moments? The ones that change everything? You can have them personally, or you can experience them on a broader scale (ahem, pandemic, political strife, et cetera). That one moment seems to change everything, clarifying...
