This is letter ten. This letter is about beginnings, blankets, and my cat Tinkerbell. We own a very comfy but giant and unsightly overstuffed recliner that I was juuuuust about to ditch right before La Pandemica Global came to town.

When someone has a problem with understanding and implementing the basic principles of organizing, [...]

Letter six is about the moment I became a professional actress. Allow me to set the stage... (See what I did there??? PUN FULLY INTENDED. And I remain steadfastly unapologetic.) Although I attended large suburban schools, my educational environment felt more akin to a smaller private school for two specific reasons.
