I THINK I K(AFT)AN, I THINK I K(AFT)AN
There’s a lot we can learn from The Little Engine That Could. The saying goes, “I think I can. I think I can,” doesn’t it? He thought he could. So he did.

JUST SAY NO
I was in a Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru the other day, waiting for my medium cold brew coffee with a light splash of cream, when I had an epiphany. And it involved the “N” word.Cards on the table- this is not the “N” word you’re probably thinking of. This epiphany involved a simple word. One that many of us learn to say in the first year of our lives.
