Dear Olivia,
We know this time of year is normally spent away from screens, savoring the longer days or the last few adventures before a return to the school year calendar. I hope that you have enjoyed a season of growth and connection, but if you are tuning in with us today feeling some disconnection from the summer celebrations, you are not alone.
Personally, I have held joy from seeing friends' gardens overflow and hiking and swimming in new places, as well as deep anxiety over the parade of devastating climate disasters that come this time of year. I hold my breath with every new headline about the unprecedented El Niño, knowing we haven't seen the worst of it. However, I know there are ways to weave resilience and transformation into this season of uncertainty by leaning into my community.
