Walls
I’d love for everything to work out in my favor. The hard part is the challenges that come before the reward. The challenge isn’t always the tilling or busy work. It’s not always connecting and creating the best log line. The challenge that comes before the reward is often the same wall I keep runningContinue reading “Walls”

All the fake kitchen stuff was set up in a way that separated house cornerContinue reading “Imagination Play”

We support youth and mentors with adventurous programs and services. One thing I’m pretty excited to be planning is a cityContinue reading “Escape Room and Writing”
