Easter

Easter is a reminder that we can always begin anew.

Every moment we are alive lets us start over.

If we don’t like who we were or what we did, we can make a different choice in this moment.

And in this one. And this one.

Sometimes we have to choose over and over and over to become who and what we want to be, and that is okay.

After all…

Imperfection is no reason to stop trying to be a Good Human.

Change is not only possible — it is inevitable. Since that is true, I think it makes good sense to change — with intention — into a better version of ourselves. We don’t need more bad versions in the world, after all!

Happy Easter and Happy Passover and Happy Sunday.

Whoosh

Trips to Montana are always a whirlwind but this recent one was pretty epic. An incoming Spring snow (shouldn’t that be an oxymoron?!) made me leave a day early, and I am glad I did as the passes got a lot of snow on Thursday, my original travel day.

Lolo Pass on Friday

Although I work remotely, I do have some in-person commitments and that was the main purpose of the trip but I took full advantage of the time.

Lincoln Squared

I got to hang out with these two fun humans.

Suzanne and I practiced draft at Fort Missoula. Starry G ran this certification track on campus…

…and passed! ⭐️ It was especially impressive because it was 5 pm on a weekday and campus was hopping 🤯

But the most random thing was that I got a text from Aysha, who lives in Canada, saying it was a bummer I wasn’t still living in MT because she was in Missoula for a night. Imagine her surprise when I texted back and said that I was also in Missoula! I didn’t get a picture but we had coffee and caught up — SO WONDERFUL ❤️

The drive home was easy — the roads at the passes were cleared off and the views were — as usual — amazing.

It is fun to have a foot in two places 🐾

Happy Saturday!
