I was reading another “self-improvement” book and ran across this quote (cleaned up a tad for a *PG audience): “There’s nothing as unstoppable as a freight train full of hell-yeah*.” While it may not be Shakespeare, those words really resonate with me.

Eight months in and we’ve reached my favorite time of the year. Not because of football, cooler temps or falling leaves, but because it’s officially IDEA season.
