Oct 20 2020


I've always felt that life has a magical way of completely twisting, turning, and slamming against the wall even the best laid plans.

And that was before 2020. 

Before Covid-19.

2020 has taken many, myself included, for a wild ride, leading down paths that we could have never imagined a mere 12 months previous.

For me, it brought one promising career growth-spurt to a sudden and devasating halt, before eventually leading to another exciting path that I hadn't even considered as a possibility at the start of the year.

Sometimes, I have to remind myself that when our heads hit the pillow each night, the only thing that really matters is that we pursued each cause of the day with an authentic passion and with the best effort we could give.

Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence

-Henry David Thoreau
