It's Beyond Me: An Update
Into the Living Room: Behind-the-Scenes of a Lifelong Learner

Winging It: Episode 20: Learning to Lean Into the Universe
Into the Living Room: Behind-the-Scenes of a Lifelong Learner

I look down and see all the pieces and players moving around, but I am a bit disconnected from it all.
Here's to new adventures!
