“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”
―Shel Silverstein
Good Morning North State!
In this edition of Good News: North State we’re looking forward to the Chico Renaissance and Fantasy Faire, listening to an underrated cut from Thriller, and taking a few moments to center ourselves and give thanks.
Have a beautiful Monday North State, I hope to see you out there.

Weekly Good News Challenge:
For this week’s Good News Challenge, I challenge you to find the time to meditate. Allow yourself a moment to slow down and recharge. If you’re into guided meditations, I really like this 5 minute one.
When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love - Marcus Aurelius
Challenge accepted?
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.
