My parents, Kevin and Judy, who bought a used Commodore 64 for me and my sister when we were in fifth grade so that we could practice writing on Bank Street Writer and learn to program our own games in BASIC. +500 Love
My twin sister, Kelly, for her support through the process of writing this book—and for telling me more than ten years ago (in a flash of empathic insight) that, based on my childhood talents and strengths, I should invent a career for myself combining game design and public speaking. It sounded crazy. But she was right. +1000 Compassionate Willpower
And most of all, my husband, Kiyash, who is my all-time biggest epic win, and the best possible ally in making a life worth living. “You know, sweetheart, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: nobody knows what’s going to happen at the end of the line, so you might as well enjoy the trip.” +1000 Curiosity, +1000 Wonder, +5000 Meaning
