notes on mastering the art of transcendence and refinement with Coached By Kate
My son's favorite super hero is The Flash. Everything faster is better in his mind. He runs whenever he can.

I came home from a work trip to find hand picked flowers and colored pictures of little tiny fashion dolls with hearts and flowers on it. Giant yellow suns with slashes of yellow streaming out of the paper. Inside each (yes - there was more than one) 8×11 folded paper were notes of love and [...]
