Happy Friday Friends!!!

 

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: 

Going to an amusement park is always a fun summer activity! There are so many different things that you could do at an amusement park but, why are people really attracted to an amusement park? Let's find out what you all think the most popular amusement park ride is among you all!

It looks like there isn't much debate when it comes down to the best amusement park ride. The best ride is... ROLLERCOASTERS! A predictable yet fun answer. Buckle up and keep your hands in feet inside the vehicle at all times because things are about to get bumpy!

IN THE HEADLINES:

 

Are you tired of all the constant headlines popping up on your phones? Does the news sometimes ruin the day? Here is a place where you can find uplifting, fun, and good news from people in our own community. Keep looking to your own life headlines for a smile!

OTHER NEWS:

The weather is getting hotter and hotter which means we need to make sure to stay cool. As you have probably noticed, the weather is becoming unusually hot in some places in the world because of climate change. The feeling of despair and hopelessness feels so strong right now because what can we do? I am not the with answers to how we can all magically fix it but, we have to keep moving forward and find ways to take care of the earth. While our actions are small and the bigger issue is with large corporations, we can still take off each other and make sure strangers are safe, hydrated, and healthy. 

 

Creativity is something that I have been at a standstill with lately. I still have my moments of inspiration but, sitting down and creating something has been feeling a little bit harder than normal. The desire to do it isn't calling me as it once has. The weird part is that I still am sad when I am not creating. I know that the wall I am currently hitting is burnout and I am trying to figure out what the best next step is. I will still find ways to create but, burnout is a hard one to deal with. I do know that sometimes the best thing to do for creativity is nothing which is something that I am trying to master more and more. Remember, rest is important.  

 

Also, I was back at Stomp to swing in this past week - it is always an adventure!

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
