✨ I’m honestly in shock right now! ✨

I just found out that Spokane Inner Peace Park was awarded Bronze in the Community Votes Spokane Non-Profit category 🥉💚

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-pushing… and yet the community still lifted us up. That speaks volumes about the value and impact people are already seeing in what we’re building together.

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

Thank you, Spokane. Truly. 🌟

🌟 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 we’re building together. They bring heart, dedication, and brilliance that truly align with my own—and that’s what makes our team extraordinary.

Our board is a rainbow of excellence 🌈✨ and I feel deeply honored to have them alongside me. The truth is, they make me feel proud and grateful every single day—I’m the one honored to have them, not the other way around. 💛

Be careful where you park! You might think you’ve got the shady spot only to come out and find it’s now in the sun! Gotta use your noggin when selecting the best parking spot!

K Bear, has taught me more about astronomy than I learned in college lol. Today he is drawing sagittarius 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  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!

We are so grateful for our board members at Spokane Inner Peace Park / Up and Atom Foundation. They pour their hearts into serving this community, even while facing incredible personal challenges of their own. 💙

Right now, two of our board members could use some extra love and support:
✨ One is currently undergoing cancer treatments.
✨ Another recently lost their home in a fire.

If you’d like to extend a hand, here are two ways to support them directly:
