  • 30 Days – Day 13

    I was in quite the funk all day. It felt a lot like last summer, right after I moved here, and I spent my days refreshing Craig’s List in search of ever-elusive employment. Then I left for the ESL class that I teach and interacted with a bunch of wonderful people. After class, I came…

While creating and producing is important and fun, cultivating relationships with friends who…
