It has been a whirlwind of a month working away on projects and continuing to be supportive of the on-going development of the Daily Outsider as it continues to evolve. As I was reflecting upon the month, I ran across this courtesy of the team at We Funder that I have the pleasure to have an affiliation with:
“America, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me. You let me make a difference. A place where even orphan immigrants can leave their fingerprints and rise up.” - Lin-Manuel Miranda from the musical Hamilton
As many will realize, this is a scene out of the smash Broadway hit, Hamilton. It is about the celebration of the American Spirit that was shown in a major way as we were all witness to the devastation brought about by Hurricane Harvey. I was also very proud of our Community Response as underscored by this as members of our local first responders were dispatched to Texas to assist with the relief efforts:

Supervisors Bartlett and Spitzer, who are also members of the OCFA Board, applaud the successful rescue efforts of members of Orange County Fire Authority and the Anaheim and Orange Fire Departments that make up California Task Force Team 5.
It was also another highlight for me as my Son and I joined one of our Eagle Scout Candidates as we we were at the Shays' Center in San Juan Capistrano as we supported the beautification project and shared some brief thoughts on the Troop's Facebook wall as well:
Had the pleasure to join a morning of service with one of our Eagle Candidates, Ryan C., as almost 40 of the Trailmasters joined a Beautififcation project at J F Shea Therapeutic Riding Center...making a difference yet again!! Congrats Ryan and a Virtual High Five to all who joined this Day of service

The challenging political landscape was also quite concerning as we await a very September challenging September. I did take heart in the GDP Report which is a good sign. But whether that is sustained or not is a big question. Because I wanted to make sure I maintained a positive and upbeat note as I finished off the month, one highlight for me was this I saw courtesy of Global Citizen that blew me away along with some thoughts-Satti's story especially resonates as it is a story of hope and overcoming odds:
She is a true ray of hope after the tragic years that Greece has been witness to. It is about in the end an embrace of the art of the possible.
