The Art of Mistake Making

Do you remember how many times you fell down when you were learning to walk? I don't personally, but I'm sure I fell hundreds if not thousands of times in my quest for 2-legged movement.

Hammock Chats

I once had a friend tell me, "Jackie, if you talked to me like you talk to yourself, we wouldn't be friends." She was absolutely right.

Rejection Therapy: Week 1

When I was 23, I believed I could do anything. I moved to middle-of-nowhere China right after college, and all seemed possible.
