ISSUE NO. 700
WELCOME TO OUR 700th WEEKLY NEWSLETTER . . . 

Today's edition goes out to more than 80,000 people - a daunting figure if we stop to fully absorb it. And while big numbers sound impressive, we've learned that with each individual newsletter all it takes is one person to respond to give us a meaningful spark of connection. 

We hear from at least one person every week who shares that this newsletter makes them feel connected to themselves, as well as to something bigger than themselves. The not-so-secret secret is: we feel the same way. If you take one thing from this email just know: you are not alone. 

It sounds simple. It's also everything. This web of support - the one that reminds you that you are seeing what you are seeing, and confirms that the world is a beautiful place worth standing up for - makes it possible to envision a better way and make it so. We know the power that exists in our kinship and our ability to imagine, create, and work together. 

We received so many thoughtful, inspiring responses to our conversation on grief in the workplace last week...we are still processing them. We look forward to sharing some of those insights and resources that came in from readers like you later this month. But today, we want to encourage you to focus on connection. Is there one - big or small - part of your life that makes you feel truly connected? Is there one key aspect of connection that you feel is missing in your life? 

If those questions don't resonate, is there someone you always reach out to - or have been meaning to reach out to - to feel in alignment? Reply to us here, or use your precious moments to send the communication to them. You might just want to let them know...

 

We're so glad to have you in our life,
