Try Every Day #8 This is my Nintendo Switch. I bought it brand new on launch day. For the entire year prior to launch, any the someone asked what I wanted for a gift, my answer was always cash… or Game Stop gift cards. I’ve always been a Nintendo kid. I coveted one in the…

Try Every Day #7 I don’t carry much in my pockets. Phone, wallet, and my Swiss Army Tinker. That’s it. That’s about all it’s ever been. I’ve carried my Tinker since I was a child. I was a huge MacGyver fan and always wanted his iconic knife. I don’t know when I found my first,…

Somewhere along the way, I forgot to explore new things. I forgot that failure was always an option. I forgot that learning starts with being BAD at something. I forgot to try. Recently, someone very near and dear to me has been encouraging me to try. She’s pushed me past the fear of failure so…
