Quit Shooting for Perfection. It’s a Fallacy.
One of the things that are always against us, is ourselves. I say that as a perfectionist. Any perfectionist will tell you the same thing. It plays games in your mind. It paints this picture of what something should look like, but no matter what, you struggle to hit that goal.. Most of the time,…

On Taking Breaks
Over the last few months, I’ve really been enjoying the weekends.

Teaching is Everything
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always enjoyed sharing everything that I’ve learned along my journey. It could be because I’m become a parent and a father and spend a lot of my day teaching my kids, whether it’s putting on shoes or getting them dressed, or even teaching them how to play…

Failing To Get Started with the Theme.json
Alright.. Honest truth time. I failed at about everything I tried today to get started with the Theme.json file.
