Yes, life is supposed to be full of trial and error, but this lets you find the best areas for you to experiment with.

One important thing that lockdowns and quarantines taught us is that just because business has always been done a certain way doesn’t mean it’s because it’s the best way.

Only Canada’s homes — most of which endure long and biting winters — use more. America’s leaky, inefficient homes produce nearly one-fifth of the country’s energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, a number that has probably crept higher as the pandemic has kept people at home.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the number ‘six’ lately. I’m not sure if that’s because of my love of hexagons (because they are the “bestagons” ) or what, but the idea of grouping things in sixes is appealing to me.
