Between softball and football (the professional version) I may not sleep 8 hours again until January.
Though admittedly last night was a beautiful night at the field. And a win is a win. (assuming we did win - my eyes were drooping in the 9th).
Today is a day off from everything, so felt like a good time to get you some good news.
Kids get a space upgrade that isn’t a closet
Bristol’s Neighborhood First officially scored a huge modular expansion. For years, the team has been doing important work (mentoring, skill building and keeping our youth on track) while essentially playing human Tetris in their old facility.
The new space brings actual elbow room to the table. Fresh classrooms, private spaces for coaching, staff offices and an open programming area (plus actual parking and drainage improvements, because adulting matters too).
The best part? It was built using federal relief and recovery grants. More space, zero corporate red tape, maximum local impact.
Licking ice cream for a good cause (yes, really)
When a late season freeze wiped out fruit crops earlier this year, Owowcow Creamery didn’t just offer sympathy, they fired up the churns.
Through the end of September, grabbing any fruit flavor helps support local growers through the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance. All 3 locations (Ottsville, Wrightstown and Chalfont) are part of the fun.
It’s the ultimate local loop: local cows, local fruit, local business and you on the couch with a dish of ice cream supporting the local agricultural ecosystem.
Helping your chill vibes
If your nervous system has been running on three cups of coffee and sheer adrenaline, join the club. But also, take a breath.
Airmid Wellness is expanding its footprint this week to offer even more wellness classes, movement workshops and community mental health resources.
I’m eager for a guided mindfulness session to untangle my brain without a clinical vibe. I think it’s high time we all unclench our jaws.
Well, I’m going to enjoy my day of “not a damn place to run to”. Hope your Tuesday is a chill one too.
See you Thursday for the weekend round up. There’s so much going on!
May your meditation habit stick,
Cait, From Bucks
