As you are reading, also be thinking about a moment from your own life where you felt embarrassed, angry, sad, or extremely elated - highly elevated emotional moments make the best stories. Yep - you guessed it, we will be doing some writing when we get back! A lot of you have mentioned you enjoy writing creatively, and I'm excited to read what you will produce!

Happy three day weekend!
Best,
Miss T.
