Issue #13

👋🏾👋🏾

Happy New Week!

We have another 39 weeks; so is it possible something could be built in that time? I believe so.

Reflections on the past week

What a busy week! From girl scouts, boy scouts, chorus practice, Winnie the Pooh rehearsals, client calls, and everything else, everyone needs at least a nap for 63 hours.😫 Seriously. Friends had babies, first birthday parties for their kids, I'm coming up on 10 years as a parent! It's a lot!

Here's the week roundup in pictures:

Around the internet

Too much is happening on the internet so I'm sure you've seen it. Here's what I thought was quite intriguing, 2 reads:

Tip for the week

Sometimes the most transformational part is when and adult says: "That's a really cool ideas. Tell me more."

We don't need superheroes - we need engaged neighbors, curious adults and supportive champions.

Quote of the week

Author George Bernard Shaw reminds that being flexible can benefit us in the short and long-term. However, if you're rigid, and stuck in your ways, you might have it a bit harder 😫:
