The other day, I was discussing eagles with a friend. We discussed how the mother eagle lines the nest with thorns, rocks, and other sharp materials. After she lays the foundation of the nest with these kinds of uncomfortable objects, she lines it with softer materials such as feathers and anything she can find. InContinueContinue reading “The Thorns”

Step by Step
I’m so far behind. I turn 30 this year and let me tell you, I won’t be making any “30 under 30” lists. Many of you can quickly see how unhelpful lists like that are.

While friends as if you’re Job are saying, “Just curseContinueContinue reading “On the Eve of Breakthrough”
