on failure
We all fail. No way around it.
Lately, I’m trying to be intentional about turning each failure into a learning experience. Which means I’ve learned a LOT in the past 6 months. My initial reaction to failure is self-pity. However, I’m getting better and better at picking myself right back up and figuring out what my next move is going to be. I’m unusually optimistic these days.

on money, being an adult, and MGMT
I got accepted to Full Sail. Now to figure out how to pay for it…

move along
I feel so tested. Unemployment has been the worst experience of my life. I thought I had security issues before, but this is outrageous. It’s not just the money. It’s the acceptance, the belonging, and the relationships that come from being a part of an organization and serving a purpose.
My design business, Take Heart Media, has been fairly successful. It doesn’t pay...
