Hello Friends!

Welcome to all new subscribers — and thank you to all paid supporters.

When I relaunched this newsletter in 2021 after a year-long break, I did it with one clear intention: to focus on hope. Each issue explores different ways hope can take shape — especially in a world facing real and growing challenges. Most mornings, I wake up feeling hopeful about something. And I try to turn that into action — even in small ways — that moves things in a better direction.

In this issue:

– The health benefits of Romaine lettuce

– A good read on the meaning of hope

– A city that inspires: Vienna

– What I’ve been Reading, Listening to, and Watching this month

– A short film that’s sure to make you smile

Let’s get into it.

Onwards!
