‎"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
Steven Jobs, Stanford commencement address, 2005.

World Book Night

I am so excited -- I just got news that I was selected as a book giver for World Book Night! I am not entirely certain what book I will be giving away or where I will be giving it away, but it will most likely be a coffee shop in downtown Wayne, PA. World Book Night is an annual event that is held in the US, Ireland, and the UK on the same date in an effort to spread the love of reading and books within our communities by giving away quality paperback books.  On April 23rd and I will be hanging out at my location with a box of books and giving them out FOR FREE as I join in on this wonderful effort to promote literacy within our community.
