Happy Newsletter Friday! Welcome to those of you who are reading this for the first time and welcome back to those returning! Let's kick it off with the anticipated poll results!
THE POLL RESULTS:
There are many great juices but, nothing really beats orange juice (maybe... stay tuned)! Orange juice is a great drink to start the day with or a great juice to make a lil' mixed drink. Shoutout to all the mimosas out there! But, what do people like more, OJ with pulp or without pulp? Let's. Find. Out.
Before we get into the CLEAR winner let's shoutout some fun creative write-ins we had!
Mixed drinks NO PULP, Morning drink from the jug WITH PULP
Brian (OH)
No pulp. Not a pulp kind of gal, ya know?
Jocelyne (NJ)

OTHER NEWS:
I got to go to Ohio and got to reunite with old friends and unite with an old friend for the first time. It was great getting back to Ohio to visit friends and get the chance to reflect a lot about myself and where I am. I had a lot of moments that provided me with the opportunity to look back and reflect on where I am now. You don't necessarily need a trip to get the chance to reflect. All you need is to find an intentional moment to do so. Self-introspection and reflection are great but, remember don't be too hard on yourself.
Channeling my creativity has been something that has helped me a lot these past few months. Finding ways to find inspiration and moments of creativity make me substantially happier. I have been trying to make more of an effort to find those moments now when winter is in full swing. The difficulty of winter is what it is but, the moments of creativity make it a little easier for me to get through this season. What can you do to help make winter a little bit more happy?
Thank you for reading this and if this brought a smile to your day, feel free to forward it on and spread the cheer! Don't forget the impact a little kindness can have. It can create lots of change!
'Til next time,
...alex is out
