Still recovering from "losing" that hour of sleep? 😴 Even if the Daylight Saving struggle is real, the longer evenings are finally here!

I’m loving this week’s Ready to Go Richmond Weekly" newsletter. It’s packed with everything you need to plan your March, including:

🍀 St. Paddy’s Weekend: From Shamrock The Block to Lucky’s Bar Crawl, the festivities are starting early.

🎨 Shopping: The Spring Craftsmen's Classics is back at the Richmond Raceway.

🦉 Nature Facts: Ever heard of the Virginia Spiderwort? (It’s not as scary as it sounds, I promise)

🍰 Sweet Treats: A shoutout to a local favorite, Fat Rabbit Bakery in Union Hill.

⚖️ Non-Profit Feature: Highlighting the vital work of the Central Virginia Legal Aid Society, Inc..

Support local and get out into the city this weekend. Check out the link below for the full list of events and a chance to win their weekly giveaway. 🎁

Great advice in this brief video, professionally & personally - such as to manage one task at a time, be mindful, & do breathwork throughout the day. As a fellow Buddhist, I look forward to visiting with these folks when they pass through the area ~Feb. 5-15. In the meantime, I also wish you all a healthy, happy, & prosperous New Year.

Special thanks to Rob YB Youngblood for bringing this video to my attention (I appreciate you), & well done Walk for Peace.
