what's your word of the year?
On the morning of January 1st, our dog Hope wanted to be the first to welcome 2024. Since Story, no longer a puppy, joined our family, it's become rare for Hope to be the earliest riser. Although I looked forward to sleeping in, I took it as a sign.
Happy New Year 🎉
What a year it's been!!!  Over three hundred sixty-five days, we created countless moments, each perfectly imperfect.
noticing who makes what you consume
The way we work is much different than 130 years ago. We can thank Labor Day, but a hefty gratitude goes to unions.Â
A Moment to Breathe
We need time to play, recover, and contemplate. We need time to wander, wonder, and walk mindfully in nature. We need time to do nothing, to be still, and breathe. We need time off to jump off the hamster wheel, hear how we speak to ourselves, and figure out who we are.Â
Ready vs Prepared
This year's Rise 2 Ripple Challenge is a solo adventure since my wife is staying home with our furry creatures.
