i keep replaying the moment in my head where i thought writing an acceptance speech for an award would somehow manifest me winning one. my boss totally overshared how she watched the NBA All-Star Game last year, so i figured if LeBron can shoot for greatness, why cant i practice my own big moment in the shower? it turns out rehearsing your gratefulness while scrubbing your back in mediocre lightin...
