2017 was a wild ride, with memorable experiences, adventures, and new friendships. And although the challenges were just as profound, I'm left extremely humbled and grateful, as well as looking forward to 2018 with new optimism and joy.

​To recap my past 365 days, I decided to share my past postcards from January 1 2017 through November 2017. Thank you so much for being a part of my year - and my life - and I'd love to hear from you, too. 

Best always,

​Your friend Norm 

January: A year dedicated to service,
​including my resolutions for our world in 2017.
