We use the word busy far too often. We say it when friends ask us how we are doing, as if being busy is an emotion. It’s an excuse we use to procrastinate on unpleasant tasks. We use it to sound important at work, because being busy somehow equates to being successful. But you’re never too busy for 10 minutes, which is all it takes to improve yourself just a little each day.

She’s not the first and is a less surprising pioneer of a decades old model than some other people who should really know better. That includes an architectural practice who came up with the idea earlier this year and whose name escapes me.

There’s no shortage of publications highlighting our youth— child prodigies , early entrepreneurs and the best 30 under 30. That’s great, but that’s not me. Most of my success was achieved later in life, and I am certain it is the better one. Being a late bloomer, most rites of passage were belated. I learned how to ride a bicycle at 24. I ran my first race at 38 and got published (outside of school papers) at 45.

When Silicon Valley Bank in California and the Signature Bank in New York failed last week, employers with accounts at those banks began to fret they wouldn’t be able to pay employees. Before the FDIC acted on Monday, they had good reason to—bank accounts are insured for up to $250,000. In the corporate world, $250,000 can be considered peanuts. While this may have only impacted 2 banks, it certainly sent waves of concerns through companies and the financial community.

He was wild and adventurous, kind of like her. She’d wanted to live on a ranch—this ranch—since that day.
