Sometimes it’s a bit of a stretch to foresee life in a month and a half, and sometimes it’s fun to imagine where we’ll be in our next season. Today, it’s August 20th. I’m at an Airbnb between Ocean Shores and Seabrook, taking a couple of days of last-minute, end-of-summer, family time. The ocean is so COLD, but it smells so good. And we’ve brought our dog with us. He’s a chihuahua, pomeranian, shiz tzu - a tiny thing who is having his own adventure, but, the weather is in the 60’s, and it’s making me think about Fall. Pumpkin spice, sweaters, Halloween - and my son’s birthday. He will be 14 this October. I guess I’m ready. This month, we’re featuring Team Survivor Northwest. When they reached out to me about a feature, I wasn’t aware of the organization But after looking at their website, I realized that I knew two of the folks on their team - women I had known in my previous career who I always enjoyed being around. They brought so much joy and goodness to my world. I knew that they would be an excellent feature - and a great one to talk about in October with (Breast) Cancer Awareness. And with that being said, welcome to our newest business partner.
