“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”
― George Bernard Shaw
Good Morning North State!
Yesterday my son and I had the opportunity to participate in the 2026 Lord’s Gym Mud Run. It was such a blast getting out there and getting active with my boy, and it felt great seeing so many members of the community show up and participate. I just want to thank Lord’s Gym and Father’s House for sponsoring this free event and for everything that they do for our community. It’s people and events like this that make me proud to call the North State my home.
Have a beautiful Monday, and I hope to see you out there.

Community in Action:
Weekly Good News Challenge:
For this week’s Good News Challenge, I challenge you to reach out to someone you haven’t talked to in a long time. Life gets busy and relationships can grow cold, let these people know even though you haven’t talked in a while you still love and care about them. Just one small message, phone call, or even stopping by can go a long way.
Challenge accepted? Reply to this email and let me know how it went.
Thanks for reading this issue of Good News: North State! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope to see you out there in the community. If you have some good news that you would like to see covered, or just have some feedback to share, I’m all ears. Until next week.

Even if I had 0 subscribers, I would still write this newsletter as an excuse to explore the North State with my wife and kids. If you enjoy starting off your week with Good News, consider donating to the project. All donation proceeds will go towards website maintenance/hosting, travel expenses, and highlighting North State destinations and events that you and your family will love. Thank you.
