See. Change. Impact.
I was reading the article. I wanted to stop. I was afraid. What if they reveal a theory I’ve been working on but haven’t released to the world yet. I was afraid of being disappointed. In myself, for not getting the idea out soon enough. Avoiding the article wouldn’t help though. If my idea […]

I’m beating this horse this week. The girls stopped eating. We found out their bottles flow rating was too low. Babies won’t work too hard to eat.
