“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” ― Leo Tolstoy
Well, we try to do both. In that spirit, we experienced change these weeks in so many ways. We settled into a new reality, if not for the moment perhaps longer, of caution and care for ourselves and our clients over COVID 19. Our world has been made coincidentally larger and overwhelmingly connected AND smaller and forever precious. We are not only our own stewards of health but of the health of others. The compounded crises of our country is an opportunity to reflect upon our individual and collective roles in making the community we desire to see. We see that taking care of ourselves means taking care of and being responsible to our greater selves - our country. Until we see us as the US, we can not confidently move forward. All of us matter and matter greatly. Originally this note was to highlight that we have moved and it is time to be grateful and reflective of all that is ongoing, we are humbled that this is time where we require healing together and create action together to lift up the better parts of ourselves.

We finally moved our office this last week to 2010 RIDGECREST DR. SE (across the street). We practice fastidiously the values of social distancing but bring our projects and our community closer to us in content, attention and focus. We are constantly seeking change to create a better work environment, better project environment. We anxiously await the change in our culture and community that better leads us to create the change we wish to see in ourselves.
