Hey friends!

You, my friends, are a gift.

I want to take a moment and thank you for the hard work you’ve done raising kind and courageous kiddos this year.

For those of you muddling through each day – wearing the same pajamas you put on back in March 2020, I hope you’ve not just found ways to survive this upheaval, but carved out new paths to courage and kindness.

Ignition Notes is reader-supported. Consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Beyond just survival – I’m hoping you’ll find pockets of genuine joy.

As always, I super-duper appreciate you, your tenacious curiosity, and your push for inclusion and justice <3

Coming up next…

I hope to be back next week with new Quick Treats for December - but also I’m solo parenting the whole week so who knows what will happen!

Whether you’re gathering with your family to observe Indigenous Day of Mourning, plan to join today’s open hangout, or are spending the long weekend helping your kid with all that homework, I hope you have a restful week surrounded by folks who support you.

With you,

Ashia
