We are currently in MN. It's been really great so far! We've met some nice people and explored a bit. We were able to chat with organizations here and those conversations felt pretty productive. It's helping me see what's possible.

Our first stop was a place called redacted. They allow people to pay what they can, or not at all if needed. They had a good selection of food and drinks. I had a plate of mixed vegetables and eggs with some coffee to drink. Genuinely some of the best food I've had. Definitely the best plate of mixed vegetables I've ever consumed.

After that we rested for a bit then explored a park. The weather has been pretty nice so far too. The air feels fresh and clean. The trees are beautiful.

Anyway, today was the only full day we had in MN. We found some organizations that accepted the aid. They seem to be doing really great mutual aid here. It's inspiring to see. It's helped reignite the passion for what I'm doing. I forgot how much is possible when you put your mind to it. We will be growing more soon. I'm excited to get back out there. We need to organize our communities.

Sometimes I forget that I'm not doing this alone. I need to remind myself to work with the community and not for it. We all have our parts to play in this. I'm still learning what my part is but I have a general idea of it. I know I'm supposed to help people. Not entirely sure how yet. There are many ways I can help and want to help but I can't do everything. I need to remind myself of that too.

Anyway, this trip has helped a lot already. We plan on leaving tomorrow around noon. I definitely want to come back to learn more and bring more aid. I want to travel more in general. It would be nice to do this every few months.

This trip has helped me reevaluate how I want to run Creators Perspective going forward. Lots of exciting things to come from this. I'll start planning my next event while we're on the road back to TX. I don't want to go back yet, but we must. I've enjoyed my time here very much.

I should start winding down. I need to rest for the drive back. I plan on starting the drive back and going for as long as I can. I only did about 5 hours on the way here. We'll see how it goes. Anyway, I hope you get some good rest. I love you and I've missed you.
