"designing a pitch deck for a new business" ... one of my favorite activities ... especially when I throw it in the LATER basket the next morning. Now that AweGust is over, we can get down to the serious holidays.

I liked summer because it felt unlimited and endless on that last day of school. Weekends were so stressful because they were short, limited, and felt like they needed to be intentional lest they be wasted. But summer felt free because you didn't have to be precious with it, you had all the time in the world... until August. August is the sunday scaries of summer. For my bingo - road trips, eating meals outside, sundays that aren't productive in any way, baseball games.

This paragraph really hit for me: “When I dig even deeper, the root of the root of what I really want is this- a freedom that is available anywhere, but especially right here, and a life I don’t need to escape from.” I enjoyed this! ❤️
