The Intentional Pursuit of Big Dreams
Pete and Repeat sat on a wall. Pete fell off. Who was left? Repeat. Pete and Repeat sat on a wall… Do you remember that joke from when you were a kid? The one that never ended until something finally gave and there was some kind of forced interjection? “Enough already! Let’s go jump rope!” ... Continue Reading →
What is your relationship with free time? Truly free free time? When is the last time you’ve had it? What happened when you did?

“Oh no no noYou just gotta let that old story go”- Trevor Hall As an English major, I have always had a love for stories. They can be a place to dream, adventure, inspire.

I love this time of year. For many reasons. One big part of this is that it is a time of transition. Transition into the holiday season (my favorite).
