#2,478 Creative Challenges.

Today I left work feeling spent, satisfied, and encouraged: three of the best feelings a person can have at the end of a long day.

It’s like college all over again, but accelerated, where I love all my classes and the professors because they encourage me to be more creative than I’ve ever been before then give me the support system to make the impossible suddenly possible.

It’s an enormous blessing to learn something new, and in the same measure, to try something new.

P.S.

I am sad that This Is Us wasn’t on NBC tonight. Are y’all watching it?!
