There are a few pivotal moments in my life. Spoiler alert: they were all seemingly insignificant moments at the time. We agonize about big events in our lives, but it blows me away how often it’s the little moments that make the most difference. One of those moments I think about a lot was when I…

Read MoreWhen we are little, we are often confronted with the question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” We are encouraged to be creative. We are encouraged to be imaginative.
