If you haven’t been following the ‘question the magic’ series that I’ve recently started, welcome! You can see our inaugural post here about a really ‘fun’ watch sponsored by our friends over at the wonderful world of Disney.

Question the Magic (QTM): Em-Sense Watch
Question the magic. It just came to me. It’s a new way of thinking that needs to start happening and it needs to start happening *yesterday*.
