how has the season been going so far

It's been incredibly, I'm like, whew! It's been very busy, but all good things.

We've had a number of programs constantly.

We probably have at least six public programs a week in the park.

We're doing trail work at least once or twice a week this time of year in the park.

And then coming up, we have some of our biggest events of the year are really coming up in the next month.

So it's actually a great time to be here speaking with you.

Like a passport.

Mm.

And, um, that didn't happen for, uh, uh, 15 years later.

So it's always been a goal of mine to write a book.

And also over time in my career in fundraising, I realized that, um, there's so much joy in giving.

And in that career, I found a lot of meaning.

Um, I did some traveling for, in, at, uh, for the school I was working for to Asia, and that was really enjoyable, um, having cross-cultural experiences.

And when I stayed home with my kids for six years, I needed to just be involved in my own passions and, um, continue to s- practice self-care.

So for those moms who are, feel like they don't, like can't possibly, like, add anything more to their plate, I think this is just a mindset shift, right? Because at least during this phase of life right now that we're in, and, and that's gonna change at some point anyway, right?
