This is just my own personal journey, but I do hope things that have helped me could help others. Now, I don't think subscribing to Harper's magazine could help you get a great new job or help you find "The One" or understand humanity.

But it could be a first small step in your quest to find that relaxing time of the day. For me, right now, it's the time my baby is fed and happy, and the first cup of coffee is ready. And my favorite magazine is open.

I used to find that zen moment in cigarette breaks and I hated the irony in that because I was trying so hard to quit. I'm glad I can find a moment of peace without a cigarette. Just losing myself in words.

And if you want, you can replace coffee with juice or with water, but I'm good for now. One step at a time.
