Core Update 126 | Ready for Some #MondayMotivation?

Happy Monday everyone! Let’s kick off this new week with a hit song that will help you beat the Monday blues: Surface Pressure by Jessica Darrow from the movie Encanto.

I absolutely love this part: “I move mountains, I move churches and I glow, 'cause I know what my worth is”.
