Thank you to everyone who submitted posts for this issue. Thank you for your great work and your extraordinary commitment to helping people live powerful lives.

Springtime is here, and the Verve Coaching community is growing. I have an itch to start a project of some sort. A way to capture the spirit of this community and express it in the world beyond pixels and CSS templates. I’m not sure what it will look like yet, but I’m open to any thoughts or suggestions.

Enjoy…
