September 1 has got me feeling some type of way – Recalibrating for the rest of 2020.

Not sure why, but I had a certain urge to recalibrate & refocus myself for the rest of 2020.

Reflection, a revelation, and a new decade of growth.

And my internal response was something I’ve always thought could not be the correct answer because I must have a “brand”, and I must fit into a box, and I must display a label, but it rang out so clearly in my mind that I started to tear up because it felt so true and so igniting.… Read More Reflection, a revelation, and a new decade of growth.

So, I’m turning 27…
