“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”

–Antoine de Saint-Exupery, author of Le Petit Prince

This quote pretty much sums up what’s been going on in my life the past two months. There are so many crazy changes coming and I wish I could talk about them all–I’m of that peculiar brand of Millennial who thinks that if something isn’t documented on the internet it didn’t really happen–but…not yet. I need to wait for the dust to settle first; don’t want to tempt fate, after all. But soon.

I’m prepping a series of really exciting blog posts and I can’t wait to start pushing them out. Hurray for progress.
