My 💔 for the loss of my cousin, Roman, who died suddenly on December 23. He leaves behind four-year-old Bodhi- the light of his life. I've created a GoFundMe to help family pay for funeral expenses . Any extra donations will go to Roman's sister who will take care of Bodhi. gofund.me/548a9ddc9

Hope to see y'all one week from today for our Rome office opening. Thanks to everyone who has helped get coordinated. Look out 2026 - we are ready! Leadershop Matters!

It’s been a week since Nacho died, so I wanted to thank the hundreds of people on Bluesky who sent condolences. Many offered words of hope; others shared stories about pets they’d lost, some more than a decade ago. I found comfort in every message. Thanks, everyone. #aussie #rescuedog

Friends, with the holidays here, I wanted to check in. What’s one thing weighing on your mind right now, and one thing that’s giving you hope this season? I’m listening, and I will read every response. Leadership means showing up, especially during the holidays, and hearing you. – Shawn

When I opened today’s Yakima Herald-Republic, I found Nacho's photo in the Explore section. It illustrated a vignette I contributed about Christmas traditions. I wrote it Monday, when Nacho was still doing OK. I think the picture today was his way of telling me he's not going anywhere, not really.
