A Soft Story from Hard Diego

Today’s blog comes from Dawn. You all know her. But what you don’t know is her journey to where she is today.

There’s something about surrounding yourself with positive energy that really shifts your perception of reality – what you value in life, what you’re looking for, and sometimes even who you are. That’s why we hug each other. That’s why we smile at strangers and high-five them. And occasionally we’ll give you their phone numbers and tell you to send them selfies during the day (BTW, send your selfies. And keep them SFW, please). read more

‘NUFF SAID

NPSD

Today’s guest post is by someone who we all know and love. She may not be the fastest or loudest, but damn does she have a heart. I’ve been inspired by her ever since she started coming to November Project.

She wrote a letter to us that she was kind enough to let us share. read more

NPSD Turkey Trot

This morning, NPSD raced our annual Turkey Trot. It’s basically a 5k in that it’s a 5k that we race. So it’s a 5k.

NPSDBut no, you’re not here to ask about the workout. You don’t care that we had 3 people wearing turkey hats and gobbling at the start line. You don’t care that we had a group that warranted 4 heats. You don’t care that we had 5 people run back to run in the final few who were finishing up the 5k. You don’t care how fucking HUGE our cheer tunnel was. You don’t care that someone gave me a whole pumpkin pie, which I promptly regifted. read more
