🚀 TREE 436: The truth of what’s possible changes constantly

Throwback Monday – TREE 30

One.

When my parents were kids, one good working-class job provided a good standard of living for a whole family.

When I was a kid, a daily dose of inspiration like TREE would have been technically, logistically and financially impossible.

A few years ago, I wouldn’t have dreamed that almost a million people would watch my daughter dressed up as He-Man lip-syncing to a cover of 4 Non Blondes’ What’s Up. But they have.

New U.S. Girls music! Meghan Remy has gloriously interpreted classic sounds of the 80s for this one. I love it.

Welcome to August. For the next three weeks, I will be continuing Throwback Mondays and we have four excellent guest authors. Jess Lea-Wilson will be handling the FIELD GUIDE slot on Fridays. Tuesdays–Thursdays will be covered by Miles Sosbe, Teresa Roberts and, starting tomorrow, Mark Pierce. Huzzah!

FFOREST will take a two-week summer holiday from 22 August to 2 September.
