Get Outside Together

When I need to re-kindle my sense of optimism, I head into the outdoors. It’s there, amongst family and friends, and dirt and trees, that I’m reminded of all that I hold dear about my community and this great (and messy and flawed and striving) country of ours. (more…)

Yes, the election season is all but over but the movement towards a more perfect nation continues still. And THAT result remains in OUR hands, in ALL of our hands. It is (and always has been) in our hands regardless of whether “our guy” or “our gal” wins or loses. (more…)

T9 COMPANY CHALLENGE 2020: The One Where We Run This State–Together

T9ers Run Across California

Through training and laughter, trials, and triumphs, and a whole lot of snacks, we always manage to pull it off together. (more…)

Yes We Can

QuoteDon’t get us wrong – we’re not saying that isn’t great as-is, it’s just that the context is different. At the time we were fighting for the recognition that women COULD hold factory jobs and do hard work – but we’ve definitely proven that by now. We’ve actually always been doing hard work (even when it was within the home) but now we’re rounding up to a century since Rosie first riveted. (more…)
