The holiday season is here in full force. Stores are currently taking over our mailboxes and email-boxes trying to convince us that we need everything and if we don’t get it right now it may not be available any longer and the world will end. To avoid this intentionally created stress, I’ve unsubscribed myself from …
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to any readers here in the US (or anywhere in the world, wherever you’re celebrating!). And even if you don’t celebrate this holiday, I’m still grateful for you!
