Consider giving the gift of expanded tree canopy this holiday season! Super excited about selling Julie Farris “Keep Akron Shady” t shirts with this fundraiser! At the $50 level you get these dope t-shirts AND purchase a tree for an area in need of canopy in our community. Seems like a perfect gift to me!

Imagination leads the mind. Mind leads the qi (prana). - saying in Qi Gong, spoken from Lee Holden.

I love this. Applies to everything I think. We have to imagine anything before it's possible or actionable. Energy and action moves from imagination.
