โœจ Iโ€™m honestly in shock right now! โœจ

I just found out that Spokane Inner Peace Park was awarded Bronze in the Community Votes Spokane Non-Profit category ๐Ÿฅ‰๐Ÿ’š

What makes this so emotional for me is that I had no idea this contest was even happening. There was no campaigning, no sharing links, no vote-pushingโ€ฆ and yet the community still lifted us up. That speaks volumes about the value and impact people are already seeing in what weโ€™re building together.

To be recognized alongside so many other incredible organizations, without even knowing we were โ€œin the running,โ€ is beyond humbling. It makes me feel seen, grateful, and even more determined to keep moving this mission forward.

Thank you, Spokane. Truly. ๐ŸŒŸ

๐ŸŒŸ I am wildly proud and deeply grateful for the incredible board of directors we have at Up and Atom.

Not because of a DEI checkbox, but because each of these humans chose to believe in me, in our mission, and in the vision for what weโ€™re building together. They bring heart, dedication, and brilliance that truly align with my ownโ€”and thatโ€™s what makes our team extraordinary.

Our board is a rainbow of excellence ๐ŸŒˆโœจ and I feel deeply honored to have them alongside me. The truth is, they make me feel proud and grateful every single dayโ€”Iโ€™m the one honored to have them, not the other way around. ๐Ÿ’›

K Bear, has taught me more about astronomy than I learned in college lol. Today he is drawing sagittarius๏ฟผ A, a large black hole in the center of our galaxy and also showing scale! The white paper shows the difference in size, the large circle is Phoenix ๏ฟผ A, the upper left is TOn618 and a the circle to the right is Sag A.

There you have it! Today you learned more about astronomy from my eight year old! Hence why we need a new Science park!

โœจ One is currently undergoing cancer treatments.
โœจ Another recently lost their home in a fire.

If youโ€™d like to extend a hand, here are two ways to support them directly:
