Sometimes, when we are working on something, we get to the point where we think, “It’s in the bag. We‘ve got it. It will finally be ours”, and then the rug gets pulled from under us, and we feel as though we have failed. Like the joke is on us.

It is the end of the summer and I am so proud of all of you for attending Summer School with me. I loved chatting with all of you last week, and and I was happy to announce that:
