This winter has been a hard one in our small Northwoods community. Over the past couple of weeks, three friends of ours have been involved in two separate life altering accidents. One friend was involved in a severe snowmobile crash a couple weeks ago and has been in the hospital with multiple injuries including bleeding on the brain. He has thankfully come out of the coma and is awake, but still isn’t able to speak yet. Last night, two more friends were struck by a car while leaving snowmobile races. One is currently in critical condition in an induced coma, and the other is recovering from a broken hip. These are good people with families who love them deeply, and right now those families are facing some very heavy days. If you’re the praying type, or someone who believes in sending good thoughts into the world, I’d be grateful if you kept them and their families in mind today. Sometimes life reminds us how fragile it all is. Hug your people a little tighter tonight.

Alright friends, let’s wake our brains up while I’m out running errands this morning… My dear friend @Kristi Rieke does a Google Buster series on her IG every morning and today’s was too good not to steal... so here’s the gem: ⁉️ The average person spends 12 more minutes doing THIS on Mondays than any other day of the week.

Founding member pricing officially closed last night, and I want to take a moment to acknowledge everyone who chose to step in early and help shape this space from the beginning! In less than a month, this community has already grown to 150+ members, fueled by organic sharing, referral links, and people genuinely spreading the word because they see the value here. That kind of momentum says a lot about the culture being built. We’re officially entering the next phase of this community, focused on visibility, connection, and intentional growth. To our founding members, thank you for trusting the vision early and helping set the tone for what this space becomes. To everyone here, this is just the beginning! More visibility. More connection.
