Look at that pixeled beauty

Nature shares the frame

Haikus and blossoms

And schnitzel with noodles (inspired by The Sound of Music, with modifications)

The tone of today’s essay was thankful, joyous, celebratory. Community and teamwork stood out to me.

Congratulations on reaching the official book launch date and the Half Marathon! The Steve Miller Band wrote:

I want to fly like an eagle, to the sea

Fly like an eagle, let my Spirit carry me

Grateful for your inspiration. 🙏🏽
