HAPPY BIRTHDAY DES MOINES!!!!!

On the Des Moines topic…

1. FLOURISH is next Tuesday!!!! We have 30 more spots we’d LOVE to get filled to maximize the $$ the winner will leave with. Come hear three 5-minute pitches from small business owners in the 515 and leave knowing your ticket purchase will go directly to fund something that makes our city more special. Ya in?!?!

2. Our backyard table & chairs arrived on Wednesday, just in time to enjoy it a few more weeks before winter, ha. We’ve got a bit more planting to do, but close to the finish line. I’m excited to host a lot more next year!!

3. My cofounder Charise, and I went to Seattle last week to meet a ton of investors. We are building soooo much traction at Hummingbirds and geraing up to scale nationally in 2024. 🙌

4. We’ve been doing some lovely simple things like picnics at The Rose Garden behind the Art Center and walks to get pears and apples in the neighborhoods. I love finding the blend of going fast to scale my company and slow on the evenings / weekends to reconnect with my people.

5. Busted out The Manifestation Journal this week. Feeling really clear on what I want to bring into my life lately and working on syncing up with the goodness that attracts it all.
