I’m Just Trying to Have a Good Day

June 20, 2017 | Kyrié Carpenter, Managing Editor

Imagine what your ideal typical day would look like. Not a holiday or a ‘best day of your life’ kind of day, rather, what would it look like if you could map your ideal typical day? A day that if you had to live it 365 days in a row would leave you feeling resourced and joyful.
