ANNOUNCEMENTS
BE INSPIRED
I follow a lot of graphic designers who publish inspiring quotes on Instagram. One of those accounts is Twillostory™ Art for Mental Wellness. One of Rupambika’s recent creations aligned perfectly with our challenge. I am sharing it with you as a reminder to write about the ordinary moments in your day, which has the power to make those moments extraordinary.
