The beauty of this Movement is that we can find like-minded individuals at 42-plus cities across the world. Both Jackie and I have been to a handful of tribes, as have many of you. In fact, we had two of ours infiltrate other tribes this week. You may have noticed that both Rick and Sheri were conspicuously missing today. It turns out that Rick was in Denver (aka not as high or awesome as Flagstaff), while Sheri was in Seattle. And Liesl just returned from Iceland, which she just so happened to bless with her unique charm.
We constantly preach community and inclusiveness, but it’s often difficult to remember that we’re a piece of a much bigger family. As an example, we made a video last year for the Serbian tribe, in which we all butchered “dobro jutro” (good morning). They, in turn, incorporated a cactus into one of their workouts as soon as they stopped laughing. And I created a workout using favorite exercises from ten different tribes (DELEGATE: my go-to of the 3 D’s of Leadership), then asked you to tag those which you loved most.
We do these things not just because they’re fun, but because we want everybody to have a sense of camaraderie with our sisters, regardless of whether you’ve been or not. Our passport shirts reflect this, with many of us having more decoration than a Christmas tree despite not being East-Coast-close to other tribes. Together, we’re making the world a much smaller place.
Wisconsin Notes
- September 16. Mark it in your calendars. We are getting together with NPs San Diego and Los Angeles for a Southwest Collision Course. The premise is simple: each of the three tribes will be camping and running, Ragnar Trail-style. Our camping site will be Joshua Tree National Park. We will firm up the details in the coming days, but expect a Facebook event soon, allowing you to sign up so we can begin reserving campsites.
- We’ve seen some great #NPlovesAZ posts already! You guys rock, keep up the good work. For those wondering what this is all about: visit the MIM, Arizona Art Museum, Taliesin West, or the Heard Museum during the month of July; post a photo to social media using the hashtag #NPlovesAZ for an entry to win some sweet swag at the end of the month. One entry per visit, up to four for the month. Get out and explore!
A big thank-you to lululemon ambassador Jeremy Heath for tagging this morning. We couldn’t get through all of the gear last week, so we opted to finish the job today. Sad you missed it? We tag the first week of the month.
