Better New Days

As summer set, my 22 new best friends taught me lots.

We ran a mile, we did the yoga, we talked about favorite activities and the struggles and successes associated, we listened to Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber and made the most out of the beautiful August night on Lake Nokomis. They used words like passion, learning, expression and hard work...they supported the young strangers that created this momentary team. Even more impressive, they gave themselves grace and love in the moments of side aches, sweat in the eyes, stumbling yoga moments & ample amounts of opportunities to compare themselves to one another and the world’s high bar for enoughness.

Here’s to a world where we hopefully are not dreaming about returning to the good old days but a world where today’s actions are creating better new days.
