Good morning friends,

Today is the International Day of Friendship. 

Hey, cool!

July 30th was designated by the UN as International Friendship Day in 2011 to build bridges between countries, communities, and cultures.

I’m so stoked about this holiday this year for a couple reasons. 

Today I’m headed out to the beach for a reunion with my former retail teammates. Our team in my last store was pretty close, so I can’t wait to see everyone. Someone that I worked with nine years ago asked if they could come, and I said 

“Heck, Yes!”

Building a team is special, and I feel fortunate to have done it all those years.

I’m packing my beach bag right now!

I’ve made so many friends through writing over the past year, and I’m thankful for all those people. I now have friends all over the world! 

• Spain

• Mexico

• Australia 

• New Zealand

• India

…and more places I’m surely forgetting.

Planning meetups with friends keeps me engaged and motivated. If I go too long without a good conversation, I get a little bummed out.

Things always look a little brighter when I get outside, move around, see friends, and have a cup of coffee.

I hope you find a fantastic way to celebrate this International Day of Friendship.

Find a moment to relax, unwind, pour your favorite drink, and pet your pets. 
Shoutout to my best friend - my dog, Jackson!

Until next time.

Peace,
