Our annual team holiday tradition continues in this challenging year 2020 with masks, hand sanitizers, last minutes scrambling but lots of laughters and joy!
Thank you everyone for making this happen! Grateful for all of my warriors at work and home!

Part 1:
We always start our tradition with movement and intention. Thanks to our fav. yoga instructors Julie Wieland, we were ready and hungry for our delicious breakfast with Grateful Kitchen Co.- super fresh and nice kick in every bite.
In fact, I have to get a photo from their fb for proof because we ate it all before I had a chance to take pictures. Thanks for working and for the love!

Grateful that we get to see the new building! Christmas comes early for us to witness the dedication of the staff and willingness in taking risk everyday to help our neighbors. Thank you for working from your hearts ! You are our true hero!

Had a blast venturing out to celebrate this awesome Veteran “Rocket Ish”! 8 years of service to our country! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SERVED AND CONTINUE TO SERVE!
“Dear Lord,

Today we honor our veterans, worthy men and women who gave their best when they were called upon to serve and protect their country.

We pray that you will bless them for their unselfish service in the continual struggle to preserve our freedoms, our safety, and our country’s heritage, for all of us.

Bless them abundantly for the hardships they faced, for the sacrifices they made for their many different contributions to America’s victories over tyranny and oppression.

We respect them, we thank them, we honor them, we are proud of them. We pray that you will watch over these special people and bless them with peace and happiness.”

Special Shout out to @ascendcycle for joining us to donate to Carpenter Shelter!

And we continue our team song through the ups and downs of Life! Let’s do hard things together !

“There are times when you might feel aimless
You can't see the places where you belong
But you will find that there is a purpose
It's been there within you, all along
And when you're near it, you can almost hear it
It's like a symphony, just keep listening
And pretty soon you will start to figure out your part
Everyone plays a piece, and there are melodies
In each one of us
Oh, it's glorious
You will know how to let it ring out
As you discover who you are
Others around you, will start to wake up
To the sounds that are in their hearts
It's so amazing, what we're all creating
It's like a symphony, just keep listening
And pretty soon you will start to figure out your part
Everyone plays a piece, and there are melodies
In each one of us
Oh, it's glorious
Glorious, glorious, glorious
As you feel the notes build higher
You will see
It's like a symphony, just keep listening
And pretty soon you will start to figure out your part
Everyone plays a piece, and there are melodies
In each one of us
Oh, it's glorious”.
