Today, February 18th, is Toni Morrison's birthday.

If you haven't read any of her books, please do. They are phenomenal.

Beloved, Song of Solomon, The Bluest Eye, Paradise.

Those are just the ones I've read. The #BannedBookSkyClub is currently discussing #Paradise #BookSky

Watching this pup crash an Olympic ski race like a champ 🐕‍⛷️ and believing in yourself as much as he did reminds us to continue to chase our goals and holdfast to the values and core work of public health.

Be brave, stay committed, but for now catch some Z’s 🛌 and be well.

goodnight friends 🌙✨

We pack food and water and tell people where we’re going. We stay on marked trails and respect public lands. There are no dangerous crossings or cliffs on our hikes and we know our limits. We’re pretty solid outdoorspeople and we plan to keep enjoying our parks for a long time.

It’s the colour 🤗

78 at the coast this week. Not okay.

Fight when you can
Take breaks when you need to
It's a marathon, not a sprint.

I don’t have anything funny or witty to offer as a balm for what we’re currently living through.

But, what I do want you to know is that there is a human behind this account and humans behind this brand that are hurting with you.

Sending hugs across the internet to everyone who needs one. 💜

We learn history as a series of kings and generals. It’s misleading. Making us think only the “great” can change things. But no general ever won a war without his army. Change takes us. The ordinary, the small, the many. We have more power together than any one man will ever have

Keep going
