I’m inviting you to celebrate the launch of my book, Joy Is the Strategy, but more than that, I’m inviting you into a night of connection, laughter, and being together in real life. Mark your calendars for February 11 from 5pm - 7pm at the Roseville Public Library. Register here! This isn’t a formal book event. It’s a joy-forward gathering. Real people. Real conversations. The kind of energy that reminds you why community matters and why Minnesota really does do this best. If you’ve ever been part of a Skool thread, a coffee meetup, a walk, a brainstorm, or a laugh-until-your-cheeks-hurt moment with this group - you already belong in this room. Come solo. Bring a friend. Stay for five minutes or the whole night. Just come as you are. Joy is the strategy and it’s even better when we choose it together. Can’t wait to see MN show up like only MN can. 💛

Minnesota friends 🤍 What if we built something here that felt less like networking and more like neighbors showing up for each other? Let us come together and uplift one another. Let us create circles of love where every voice is valued. No pressure to be impressive. No need to have it all figured out. Just real people, real conversations, and a whole lot of kindness. This is about connection. About saying “you belong here.” About making Minnesota feel a little warmer, even in winter. Grateful you’re part of this circle. Let’s keep building something good together.

However you’re spending today - quietly or loudly, solo or surrounded, in pajamas or dressed up - I hope it’s filled with warmth, ease, and a few moments that make you smile. You’re right where you’re meant to be today. PS: Go Vikings! 💜🏈

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. 💪✨

😂 I don’t have an advent calendar, so I’m just opening cupboard doors and eating whatever’s in there. And honestly… that feels very on-brand for the holidays. December doesn’t have to be perfectly planned to be beautiful. It’s in the little moments - the cozy kitchens, the half-decorated houses, the random treats, the people we laugh with along the way. ✨ Here’s your gentle reminder today: You’re doing it right. Even if it’s messy. Even if dinner is snacks. Wishing you a moment of warmth, humor, and holiday joy today, Minnesota. 💛
