I have words scribbled on envelopes, post-it notes and paper all over my house. It’s a woefully disorganized way to go through life but it does create some serendipitous moments – as you had when you discovered your list.

I wrote my all-time favorite essay on a napkin while sitting at stoplights in my mini-van. I don’t know, but I think there’s something amazing about the scribbles we make!
