The Skipper–or, great things in our city

When it’s miserable outside or the headlines are bleak, it’s easy to forget that there are inspiring people doing amazing things in Seattle. And then there are folks who are just out to create some joy…

I was walking during Snowmageddon a few days ago and spotted The Skipper–a little slippery slush couldn’t steal the bounce from her step. Seeing her bound up Pine made me–and literally every person in her wake–pick up my head and smile.

Some more things I’m appreciating right now:

• Laura and The Intentionalist
• Noura and the  African Women Business Alliance
• Neighbors volunteering at the Garfield Community Center to support families/individuals coming in from the snow/cold.

So thanks, Raven, and everyone else who keeps Seattle sweet on this Valentine’s Day.
