It’s Thursday, and that means that here at Under Solen we’ve been plowing through a long week of work. In the midst of staring at the computer, fighting a conservation battle and prepping calendars, spreadsheets, work plans and beyond, we needed a gentle reminder of why we do what we do.
In fact what we do at Under Solen is something that’s been firmly on our minds all week. As you may have noticed, we re-launched this week, with a new website, new team and new excitement for what we’re doing. A good friend of ours sent us this image today and it was the perfect answer to our question.
Why do we do what we do? Because we believe in everything listed in the list above. Here’s a few that stuck out:
#4 Alter your course often. It’s why we started this thing.
#6 Notice the stories going on around you. Yes! And we believe and telling them and passing them along, just like so many of our friends and supporters.
#7 Notice Patterns and Connections. Yes, yes, yes. We believe in the power of connecting people, causes and ideas. So far, we’re pretty excited about all the connections that we’ve made. And we’re even more excited about the people who inspire us to make more everyday.
What about you? What item on this list do you connect with? Which one could you be doing more of?



Thanks so much for sharing this. It totally applies to my life and work, as well as to what I do with Matador!
I could probably do with a little more of #8…. taking daily notes/drawings in a journal always feels so good and forces you to take a step back from technology…
