Your community news roundup: August 5, 2024

Hi friends,

Apologies for the tardiness of your newsletter this week.

I know it’s usually all sunshine and rainbows and unicorns around here, but I am a firm believer in honesty, and while I’m sure you don’t want to hear an overshare this fine Monday morning, suffice it to say that if you happen to be struggling with your mental health, you are not alone.

Please reach out to someone. Tell your friend or a family member or your therapist, or call or text the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 988.

I might not know you personally, but I am cheering for you and wishing you well from my little corner of Colorado!

All right, on to this (last) week’s news.
