It might be some of the worst air quality I've ever seen in the San Francisco Bay Area (and I lived through the smoggy 80's here), but that didn't stop me from spending a little time away from the computer and with family to celebrate a birthday. Just some good quality time staying inside, running air purifiers, and making siblings listen to me talk about NPSP Days and burritos. Ah, family time.

If you're in the Bay Area, be safe, keep that filtering mask on, and join the rest of us for a refreshing round of knowledge from the Salesforce non-profit community!

Choosing to work in the technology field, especially serving organizations doing incredible, society-changing work, can be a line of work that includes burning the candle at both ends. And on the sides. Every once in a while, taking a moment to enjoy the simple, quiet, slow things can be all we need to recharge our batteries. Thinking about your breathing is a good start (thanks Ashima).

With a solid vacation behind me, I'm ready to dive back into things, starting with another fantastic week of knowledge sharing in the PUB. Also, we'll be hosting another back-to-back week of NPSP Days starting this week in Chicago, and then next week in Vancouver.

Fasten your seat belts, and put your tray in its upright and locked position. Let's kick off the giving season with a strong round of knowledge!

In a week that was filled with open source community sprinting in our Salesforce world out in Portland, Oregon, it sure seems like the community was in overdrive this week with tons of great new questions and ideas. To the sprinters with sore muscles this week, thanks for putting in the hard work for the community!

While I try to comprehend the art all around me during my vacation this week (art historian friends needed), allow me to send you a weekly round of knowledge from the PUB Crawl, rapidamente!

“Do what you can, with what you’ve got, where you are.” An appropriate quote from the president in the background behind these awesome Salesforce non-profit rockstars at last week's NPSP Day Boston. Not only was it a fantastic day of networking and learning, but it marked the 30th NPSP Day in what's been an incredible movement building of our community.

To celebrate three weeks of NPSP Days in a row, thirty of them around the world, and ten years of the NPSP, I think I'm going to take my sailor's cap and Soapbox Engage penguin and head to a little vacation. When I come back, maybe I'll have a pretty epic announcement about an exciting capstone to this incredible year of knowledge sharing. Just maybe.

In the meantime, enjoy another round of knowledge, care of the community.

Another week, another NPSP Day in the history books. Last week, the NPSP Day community convergence tour stopped in the City of Brotherly Love, where I promptly tried running up the art museum steps only to find I'm totally not prepared for a long run in a few weeks. Luckily, fueled by coffee and Philly soft pretzels, the community pushed us forward through an awesome day.

This week, I'll be extending the tour northwards to Boston for the second annual NPSP Day right in the middle of a little-known university in Cambridge. If you find yourself in Boston as you read this, come join us on Thursday! And if not, well, enjoy this round of Salesforce knowledge and know that somewhere in Boston, I'm likely already on my third cup of Dunkin.
