Half the year is gone. My top ten favorites of 202

Man, oh man. I walked into a room of mental health

Man, oh man. I walked into a room of mental health advocates and walked out all the wiser. I even got to hang with the cool kids and they liked me. I think.

Listen, length of life doesn’t make you more confident. Age doesn’t make you more confident. Being with others who seek hope makes me more confident. And when you are in a room of the broken who are transparently healing. Healing out loud. Healing for us all to hear. That is the breath of life.

@gloriaumanah and the @thehopebooth serving up hope both in word and deed. @mxdaryl preaching about gardens. @zachariah.thompson and @_apfit leading us all. @iamjoelleon speaking directly to me. Challenging me. Encouraging me. Moving me. And @themindofsol bearing his soul in words we all hung on too. This is the hope I seek.

@thescatterjoyproject is a movement I am fully behind. They had me at the name. But their unwavering passion to make this work has me fired up.

Follow every person tagged here if you are looking to see past the heaviness of the last few years. Hope awaits. Engage the Scatter Joy website. Maybe even find yourself some help. Hope awaits.

I start this post with the combined 89-year-old guys. We looking good @cress560!

The rest is a testament to the senior guys that depart us (and Emily) who brought life into this room four years ago as freshmen and we are all better for it. And a salute to the freshman boys that I get to be friends with and what that looks like for the next four years.

And Emma and I have been doing these kind of events together for 18 years now!

Hey! Let’s scatter a bunch of joy in 2022.

Professional photo shoots are out of my league. I think we are all flawed and spend too much time hiding them. I chose this cherished hat that my dog decided to chew on to convey that in some small way.

Much love to @tariqtarey for embracing that idea and @mlcorey for his thoughtfulness in arranging this.
