Let’s make 2026 our most joyful year yet! 🌟 Oh - and to the powers that be @Goose Dunlavey and @Tony Loew ….. any chance we can rename from Minneapolis to Minnesota?

Hi Friends in MN! My name is Julie and I had 3 seconds of fame 30 years ago. I was one of the first aggressive female skaters to skate down handrails. My story is simple…I love to skate and have skated on and off through the years. Last May I got back on my skateboard half seriously and the rest is magic. I was having a terrible mental health battle with depression and skateboarding has become the therapy I needed. I have a team of top professionals starting a movement to get kids off screens and onto boards. Skateboards, snowboards, snow skates and snurfer boards. I would love your help and enthusiasm to get one million girls skating by 2030. 💕

Who’s gonna take the lead?! 👀 Right now @MarKesha Smith and @Sharon Prahl are on a ROLL 🔥 - invites flying, community growing, joy spreading like fresh snow. ❄️💛 But the contest isn’t over yet… Who’s stepping up next? Who’s inviting their people to the party? 🎉 Remember: ☕ Winner gets a gift card to their favorite MN coffee shop (you pick!) ☕ PLUS cozy coffee mugs to match Let’s go, Minnesota. Invite, invite, invite! This community only gets better when we build it together. 💪✨

The end of the year is right around the corner, got some more Christmas shopping to do and a few more new outfits to purchase, just wanted to wish all our neighbors a happy holidays moving into the last weeks of December, hoping everybody has a great Christmas and Happy Holidays and of course a great new years, hard to believe we’re going to be in 2026 in a short time, how the year flew by, it’s actually kinda slowed down for myself the last few months but I couldn’t be happier, I woke up with nothing but joy on my mind this morning and I gotta tell ya it’s a great feeling from a year ago, I really look forward to Skool events coming into the new year and planning them, I look forward to seeing some new faces and know it brings me great joy to be part of Skool and the communities that are trying to build here in Minnesota
