Do you know? Though I bet you already do: you’ve got that clever sort of mind—you know the one! The one that sees the little joys in the strangest of places.

The one that whips up ideas seemingly from nothingness—like watching the ice cream man pull down the lever of the soft serve machine, and with an expert twist, the ice cream wiggles out of its sleeping lair to arrange itself on a sugar cone in that perfect vanilla swirl.

Your values? Skates on ice, gliding free as a bird. Drawing the loveliest patterns. Keeping you balanced as you strike even the most complicated landings, the most daring stunts that test your limits.

You do not forget who you are easily.
