I haven't settled on a cadence yet, but I'm going to keep it weekly for the time being. We'll see how it goes! Thanks again for following along this past year. I have a feeling this year is going to be wild. Buckle up 🥋

Top Quotes 🌙
“When you create a difference in someone’s life, you not only impact their life, you impact everyone influenced by them throughout their entire lifetime. No act is ever too small. One by one, this is how to make an ocean rise.”
— Danielle Doby
"The daily routine of most adults is so heavy and artificial that we are closed off to much of the world. We have to do this in order to get our work done. I think one purpose of art is to get us out of those routines.
When we hear music or poetry or stories, the world opens up again. We’re drawn in — or out — and the windows of our perception are cleansed, as William Blake said. The same thing can happen when we’re around young children or adults who have unlearned those habits of shutting the world out."
— Ursula K. Le Guin
To design is much more than simply to assemble, to order, or even to edit; it is to add value and meaning, to illuminate, to simplify, to clarify, to modify, to dignify, to dramatize, to persuade, and perhaps even to amuse.
—Paul Rand“I think this will be the biggest technological platform of this generation.”
— Sam Altman
