I don't usually share videos here, but Neil Gaiman is an author I love and his advice to the University of the Arts class of 2012 is charming and a must watch. It's also (I think) a really down to earth & relatable take on manifesting (he calls it pretending), working hard, confidence, and being a working freelancer- which are all things that have become a huge part of my life over the past few years.
Today is my birthday, and I'm so thankful to be spending it working with web design clients and in the company of so many inspiring friends. This last year has been more wonderful than I could have imagined, and I can't wait to see what the next holds.
xo, k.

Happy Birthday! I’m so glad I happened across your blog. It (and you) are truly inspirational to me. I spend my days as a baker and barista in a small town coffee shop alongside my husband after 25 years of teaching elementary school, Web-mastering for a university dept., homeschooling our 3 kids, & working as an admin for a church. These days I express my creativity thru baking. Your blog inspires me to create in other ways too! Thank you for sharing your passion & your gifts!
I love Neil Gaiman! And this is just so inspiring (not to mention, I’m incredibly jealous he didn’t speak at my graduation!) and such great advice.
And happy birthday, Kyla!
