Highly recommend the book “How to Know A Person” by David Brooks.
“In this age of creeping dehumanization, I’ve become obsessed with social skills: how to get better at understanding the people right around us…That is at the heart of being a good person.” -davidbrooks

In February, we gain 2-3 minutes of daylight each day! Did you know the northern hemisphere gains daylight at a faster rate this month than any other month of the year? 🙌 ☀️

when you can, be still near the water with your face soaking the winter’s light, just for a few moments, graciously and gratefully. “Winter’s Light” - Bowman Island view from Winslow Park in Freeport, ME.

Send seven postcards to seven friends and loved ones this February. Spread Love. Spread Hope.

Take the challenge!

Finding the light "Evening Reflections" - Words from Rev Budde to President Trump "May God grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to one another in love and walk humbly with each other for the good of all people.” #art #painting #hope #create

Blue sky, fresh tracks, sweeping panoramic mountain views and rolling terrain all make for an epic run! Effortlessly in motion, carving your mark in the happily blinding snow all while drinking in the fresh mountain air just leaves you rosy cheeked and refreshed… Repeat. “Lollapalooza.”

Hoping for more peace and clarity, creativity and honesty over here... "Can't Stop Hip Hop" one of my newest originals from January 2025.
