For my birthday a few years ago, my sister got me a letter board, and it has since become home to a quote and/or idea that inspires me. I often like to choose one at the beginning of the year or in light of a big change, to give my mind something to focus on Continue reading

A Nostalgic Lesson on Failure

It took my sister and I all of two days after Disney+ came out to give in and subscribe. For some people, the draw was the backlog of Marvel movies and shows like The Mandalorian, for us it was easy access to Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century. Because let’s face it, when it comes Continue reading
