You never know who’s being lifted by your kindness, your presence, your words or your strength. Keep shining because your light reaches farther than you realize.

Know that someone out there is encouraged because of you today.

Grateful to ESPN's Kevin Negandhi for joining my Temple Sports Media Relations class tonight. The Temple alum shared great insights on relationships, humility, and growth — reminding us, “You’re never as good as you think you are, and never as bad as you feel.” Full-circle moment for us.

Also finished reading “2024: The Year’s Best Sports Writing.” A great way to improve as a writer and storyteller is to read the best.

The stories in this book are exceptional and make me feel like I’ll never reach that level of writing excellence.
