Are you walking a path—or wandering?

The answer to whether you are walking or wandering often changes from season to season – life is fickle in that way. We asked some of the folks we most admire to reflect on whether they feel like they are walking or wandering and have shared some of their responses below.

Honestly, my business is called Marcy’s Mayhem for a reason. I’d love to say I’m confidently walking a straight path, but the truth is, I’m doing a little bit of both—walking and wandering. Some days I wake up and feel unstoppable, like I’ve got everything figured out. Read more>>
