This month, we’re partnering with Avivo and The JOY Project to spread warmth, hope, and joy across our communities. ❄️✨ You can give directly right here - or share your favorite local charity below! Let’s build a list of amazing Minnesota organizations doing good right here at home. 💫 Because when we give together, joy multiplies. 💛

Whether you’re cozied up at home, road-tripping across the state, or sneaking that extra slice of pie (no judgment here 🥧), I hope today reminds you just how much connection matters. I’m grateful for this community - for every smile, post, and real-life moment we’re creating together. You’re proof that joy grows when we gather. 🌟 Wishing you warmth, laughter, and plenty of leftovers. Happy Thanksgiving, friends - from my snowy side of the border to yours. ❄️💛 Rachel PS I am SO excited to meet many of you in person in December and 2026!!!!!

How’s everyone’s Monday wrapping up? Did you crush your goals? Survive the chaos? Or just stay warm and call that a win? 🧤😂 Before you sign off for the night - a quick joy check: 👇 Drop one thing that made you smile today (big or small — bonus points if it involves a Minnesotan “you betcha”). Then go pour yourself something cozy, stretch, and give yourself credit. You showed up today, and that’s worth celebrating. 💪☕ Sleep well, friends. Tomorrow’s another chance to sprinkle a little more joy across the North Star State. 🌟💛

If every one of us invited just ONE person to this group today… we could literally double in size by tonight. 💥 Now, I know my fellow Minnesotans are still friends with someone from elementary school (probably your locker buddy or someone from the lake cabin next door 😆). So tag ‘em, text ‘em, or tell ‘em at hockey practice. It’s time to bring ‘em in! I’m talking to you @Jason Fish @Tony Loew @Sharon Prahl and @Jen Coenen (who IS my friend from elementary school!!!!!) And for everyone else, I bet you know a few folks who could use a little more joy, connection, and good ol’ Minnesota Nice in their lives. And here in talking to @Goose Dunlavey @Brennan Thompson @Shannon Koss!!! Let’s do it!!! Let’s double today! Because around here, the more the merrier (and probably the louder the laughter). 💛✨

We’re teaming up! Skool IRL Minneapolis + The JOY Project are joining forces to volunteer at Open Arms of Minnesota, where every meal made and delivered helps nourish our neighbors living with serious illness. This isn’t just about food. It’s about community, connection, and joy in action. We’ll roll up our sleeves, laugh, and make a tangible difference - one meal (and one smile) at a time. Because when one person chooses joy, it changes their day. When a community chooses joy, it changes the world. Want in? Drop a comment or DM to join our volunteer crew on Decemeber 12 from 2:30 - 4:30pm. Let’s sprinkle joy like glitter all over Open Arms MN!
