So the other day a kid from one of my ninja classes asked me about the scars on my face. It surprised me because I never really notice my scars anymore. So I gave him the stories of a couple of my scars and how I got them… my favorite being the one on my eyebrow where Dustin, my brother, decided to throw a rock at my face because I wouldn’t play tag with him; thanks bro.
(Check out the cut next to my eye in this picture! This one was not from my brother)
With all the changes happening in my life currently this conversation got me thinking about something. With all of the crazy, idiotic things I did as a kid (and as an adult too…) the scars are the last thing I think of. Heck, I don’t even know how I got many of my scars. I guess that’s what happens when you grow up with two older brothers and you consistently get elected to be the test dummy. The thing I do think of is all the fun times and great things that came from taking risks.
Fast forward to present day, I regret none of the risks I took that gave me the scars that I have because it made me into who I am today; A person who is not afraid to take great risks to achieve even better rewards.
A few weeks ago I finished my final semester of college! WOO! Many graduates will go off and find stable 9-5, M-F jobs. Good for them, I wish them all to be successful. Me? I’m going to keep taking risks and keep pushing to succeed and better myself because now is the time to take risks, while we are young.
I’m going to be a ninja who buys real estate. Yup, sounds pretty foolish. What isn’t foolish is that every single day I wake up knowing I absolutely love the work I do. Can you say the same? If not, maybe now is the time to take risks and do what you love. I’m not saying quit your steady job or go and blow all of your money. Just don’t be afraid to take a risk… because you still have the rest of your life to heal if you fail.
If it makes you feel more confident, I am working in an industry that is in its infancy and has no guarantee on being here in 5 years. On top of that, I am currently in the process of buying my second property and taking on another huge financial risk. The reason I am not afraid is because I have worked tirelessly to prepare myself for these risks. And guess what... if I fail, I still have the rest of my life to build myself back up.
For everyone who also graduated this winter, CONGRATS! WE DID IT! We are young, now is the time to take risks… now go out and do something you love!
A huge thank you to everyone in my life, present and in the past, who have helped me get to this point! Couldn’t have done it without you 😊

Many printer users wonder why is my HP printer offline even though the printer is on. This problem starts after a Wi-Fi network change, power cut, or an operating system update. HP printers depend on a good internet connection and correct printer status settings. Checking the Wi-Fi network, setting the HP printer as a default device, and restarting the print spooler service can help fix it. Once the HP printer shows online again, printing resumes normally for work files, school tasks, or home needs.
Many printer users look for the right steps on how to connect Rollo printer to computer when setting up label printing for the first time. Rollo printers are commonly used for shipping labels at home or in small offices. The connection process involves installing Rollo printer drivers and checking the correct port settings. Once connected properly, the Rollo printer responds faster and prints labels without any errors. This setup helps you manage online orders, returns, and daily shipping tasks with less interruption and better control.
Completing a full Cricut setup helps you avoid common issues when using the Cricut cutting machine. The setup includes powering on the machine, connecting it to the system, and confirming settings through the Cricut Design Space app. Once done, you will get access to design tools and project options. This preparation helps the Cricut machine cut and follow designs accurately. With the setup finished, you can focus on DIY projects for home use or small selling needs without repeated adjustments.
Getting started with Cricut machines begins with a Cricut app download process. This guide explains where to download the Design Space software, how to install it on different devices, and what to do if installation fails. Apart from that, you will learn tips for setting up your first craft project, checking basic system compatibility, and keeping the Cricut app up to date. With clear guidance, you can focus more on creating designs and less on troubleshooting software issues.
Starting a new crafting project feels exciting once the Cricut machine setup is done the right way. Cricut machines work well for cutting vinyl, cardstock, fabric, paper, HTV, balsa wood, and more. During setup, you connect the Cricut cutting machine to your PC or mobile phone and follow on-screen steps. This process will help new Cricut users avoid confusion and start smoothly. After setup, you can focus on creating custom designs for gifts, home decor, or small business orders with proper control over every cut.
