A life event happened today. Strangely enough, I didn’t even register it, until someone drew it to my attention. After 1,051 days, I am officially moving out of the Office Cabin.For most of this time, I saw this space simply as a place that supported focused, efficient, and disciplined work. I never really thought that …
