Private Chef, Writer & Podcaster
Burned out, exhausted, and held together by caffeine and sarcasm, I decided not to wait until September for a beach vacation. Here’s why I booked a chronic illness-friendly escape to Cape Cod—with nothing but my Kindle, portable oxygen, and a deep craving for ocean air and silence.
As a chef, writer, and lifelong bookworm living with chronic illness, I’ve discovered that my Kindle isn’t just a gadget—it’s freedom. Between hospital visits, late-night writing sessions, and lazy Sundays with my pets, it lets me carry an entire library in my pocket without the weight or the guilt of unread stacks. Here’s why I’ll always choose my Kindle over physical books and why e-readers might be the best invention since espresso.
