…

This morning, I looked around my desk to see what I’ve missed and spotted a booklet titled, “What’s Your Story?” and a journal with “Infinite Possibilities” stamped on the cover. The booklet was requested at the beginning of March 2020, but I didn’t receive it until the end of October 2021. The journal came about a month or two later, when I took another leap of faith. It didn’t feel like a coincidence this time.
