"Challenges to intellectual freedom are nothing new." -John Spears, Pikes Peak Library District at the Manitou Springs work session tonight in defense of the wider region's longstanding dedication to free speech and access to information.

I am beyond grateful for the chance to learn from and serve the incredible community that is Manitou Springs. It’s both a humbling and inspiring experience to hear about a decade of winners and nominees who have done and are still doing great work in the… instagr.am/p/Cb0eKCPFPdo/

Family is what we weave it to be. ✨ Sampling of scenes from the KNOT Wedding and its buckets of flowers and other DIY adventures. No kids pictured here because of digital privacy considerations, but believe me when I say they are wonderful together.… instagr.am/p/CcO8sVKsemd/

The snowstorm broke trees and our gardeners’ hearts, and still I will dwell on the joy of these fabulously unintentional Westside uniforms on a day dedicated to reimagining what our neighborhood community center could be. Grateful to the City for keeping… instagr.am/p/Cd2ILylMRVT/
