Travelled to 18 states and 3 countries

Produced 8 short documentary-style videos on projects we’ve done (and one special one for Helen)

Met TONS of wonderful new friends along the way
There were 2,500 of you when I began writing this exactly two years ago. There were 17,000 of you a year ago. And there are well over 44,000 of you reading today!
Thank you so much for supporting the work, and for sharing it with your family, friends, and colleagues. The numbers are gratifying, it’s each and every thoughtful reply, visit in person, and real connection made along the way that means so much to me.
I invite all of you to come visit us and our community in person. If I’m around, I’d be happy to show you The Nook. And if not, there’s still plenty to see and do.
In the meantime, I hope you have a wonderful, restful holiday – and an auspicious start to the new year. See you in ‘26!
