Success: We celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi this week, which meant delicious food and origami! I wanted to make Ganeshas out of play dough but didn’t pick it up in time, so we opted for origami. I was actually super impressed that we successfully made elephants. 🙂

Flop: my bird’s nest fern is hanging on for dear life and I’m doing it no favors. This recent white leaf prompted a move to a lighter room, but I don’t feel particularly hopeful.

Hike: Mount Sherman! Checked off my 9th Colorado 14er. This was for sure the easiest 14er I’ve done so far. 4.78mi / 1,958 ft. elevation / 3hrs 11mins.

Bringing me joy: a college friend in town for the long weekend! I hadn’t seen Sage in probably six years, and we filled the weekend with fun. Hiking, exploring Red Rocks, bouldering, and lots of good conversation.

Coffee shop: Table Public House, kind of between Edgewater and Englewood.. I really liked this spot. It’s a cafe/coffee shop, with a little designed work area full of beautiful house plants. 100% of the profits support community-focused initiatives. I’ll definitely be working from here again!

Book: Finished Getting Naked: A Business Fable about Shedding the Three Fears That Sabotage Client Loyalty by Patrick Lencioni. It was a quick read and interesting, but I wouldn’t recommend for someone who isn’t in consulting or other client-focused work.
