We are all miracles. As far as we know we are the only meaning making creatures in the universe. We don’t know what we have got until it’s gone. How can we stay awake? What helps us keep waking up?



Blair Braverman an amazing professional musher, had an unusual sled dog who would sing while running in the team. Huskies are usually so focused while working, doing the thing they love (running), that they don’t sing. They will sing a lot of other times, but not while running. As Blair says “It’s not a thing!”

Her dog, Refried, was different and would sing while running, especially when the other dogs needed some motivation. Refried demonstrated leadership and sang to motivate the team when they needed to push through the hard stuff. It was a special gift and she taught the rest of the team to lead that way too.

It’s a lesson we all can consider applying, at home and out in the world – What is the thing you can do? Do that, whatever it is, offer it to the world. We are having an impact beyond what we see in the moment.
