January 2 is World Introvert Day. While I most definitely am NOT an introvert, I have spent the better part of my career largely working with and serving introverts. One of the best things I’ve done for myself professionally was to truly learn and understand how people show up in the world based on their own energy and how they interact with others.

This has been crucial for leading, especially, volunteer teams. When I say my goal in professional projects is to use my eclectic set of skills to put good back into the world, this is part of my why. When I run an event that involves volunteers, I take time to outline roles that work for all and attempt to align them accordingly. My own personal tank is filled when a volunteer comes to me and says, “WOW! I didn’t realize I was going to get … x, y, or z out of this volunteer experience.” 💕

To the many amazing introverts in my life, it is an honor to collaborate with you. I hope you are celebrating you today…somewhere alone. 😊

2024…I’m calling a year of embracing yes, and. I wrote about this in my chapter in and how this approach allows space for deep pain and deep joy. There was so much of both this year. And I’m . For the good and the hard. 💕At the beginning of 2024 I said I was embracing new growth, pursuing longtime dreams, and I chose a word of the year for the first time - impact. Perhaps I should have qualified that with grit. The grit to keep going during the messy times. To get to impact that puts good back into the world…my why. Highlight reels are amazing. They also don’t show the hard, messy, self-doubt, grief, pain, and more that can lead up to the amazing highlight. If that’s you in the middle messy right now, I see you. Cheers to you for having the courage to pursue your dreams. In this year of embracing yes, and, impact, I’m celebrating…✅ Planning and making happen a dream long in the making - getting to take my daughters to France *with my mom, who has taken many many teenagers to Europe during her time as a French teacher. My heart is still full from this experience. 💕✅ Becoming a published author. Thank you and for the opportunity to join The Losses We Keep project. I am so proud and honored to have been part of it. I have wanted to be a writer since I was a little girl, and I had no idea that one day I would choose to use my *own story in a way that I hope helps others. It was mountains of emotional labor to go back and revisit the details of and and in the end I’m so glad I did. 💜✅ Sending clients on amazing, sometimes once in a lifetime vacations to Europe and beyond. 2024 was a year I was truly able to merge my heart of serving others into planning vacations that will create for clients and I’m honored to have been part of making it happen. Thank you to my amazing clients. ✅ Growing my team with .travel.co Continued in comments…

Today is Give to the Max Day - Minnesota's giving holiday, that has been around longer than Giving Tuesday. It is a day where we can learn about nonprofits doing important and meaningful work in the community.

I have been honored to be part of Minnesota MATHCOUNTS for more than 20 years. MATHCOUNTS has been around for over 40 years. Long enough for us to learn the real impacts. Yes, kids learn math. Yes, they have fun. The number one thing we hear now and YEARS later? Confidence. Middle school is such a critical age. And kids can make some pretty big decisions at this age about their interest in math. About their ability to work through hard problems, and see things through. MATHCOUNTS builds confidences. And connections.

At Minnesota MATHCOUNTS, we focus on a positive, welcoming environment that celebrates the students AND volunteers AND coaches. And yes we do some math. And celebrate our nerdy side.

And we'd be honored if you help us launch season 2025.

Pick your favorite prime number to donate, and we'll put it to directly serving Minnesota middle school math students this winter: https://www.givemn.org/story/Mathcounts2025
