A “Soft Life” Guide for 2026: Living Well Without Burning Out

Prioritize well-being without abandoning discipline, growth, or meaningful work.

An hour before the start of the LUMA Projection Arts Festival last Friday night, the SO and I had a reservation at our favorite place in Binghamton, 205 Dry.

I love a good speakeasy. The vibe is right, the food is great, and they’ve got the best drinks in the area! (And a fantastic mocktail menu for those who don’t partake.)
