Getting Out The Door And Pounding Some Pavement
I went from half falling asleep while I was getting my shoes on to pounding out 5.9 miles. All it takes is getting out the door. #HWI #HessLakeRun #GRMarathon #Run4Water #GodTime

Finishing Another Hot Cider Hustle
It was cold, wet, windy, and snowy for the #HotCiderHustle this morning, but it was fun to see a few #HWI teammates out on a Saturday morning.

Last year I was just an attendee but this year I stepped things up in a pretty bug way. I was not only a volunteer at the Happiness Bar, but I helped with organize the event, and was even one of the speakers. One of the things I love about #WordCamp Grand Rapids, and the #WordPress community is the people. Yet again I felt welcomed as a member of the community, valued for my experiences as a developer and user of WordPress, and encouraged when I had doubts of being…
