My biggest hope is that we will still have mountain trails to hike on, cold mountain lakes to fish in and soak our feet, and clear skies under which we will still marvel at the stars.

Life, our lives, are made meaningful by our impact. May we challenge ourselves to clean up toxic environments and relationships. May we foster healthy growth and nourishing creativity!

It’s snowy today, and we’ve enjoyed a summer with no wildfires in our region. The first summer like that in the 5 years we've lived here. Hopefully not the last! It is a dark time for the collective conscience of our country and our world. Donald Trump is president, institutions we care about are failing, and profit-seeking is still on the rise in spite of our best interests and those of the future.
