Trust Me, it Works
When I was six years old, my parents gave me a Nintendo 64 for Christmas. And for many many weekend mornings after that, I would wake up early, sneak into the living room, and play Zelda: Ocarina of Time alongside my brother and sister for as long as our parents would let us hog the… Continue reading

Give Thursday a Chance
So it’s Thursday. Which means it’s almost Friday. Which means it’s practically the end of the entire week. Which means there’s no point in starting anything now. Right?

There is More than Red
I recently listened to the audiobook of “You’re A Badass” by Jen Sincero and immediately after finishing it, I went out and bought a hard copy because I wanted to be able to highlight it and make notes and read it over and over and until the binding is good and tired. It is packed… Continue reading
