Highlights + Heroes: Rivers & Roads
Greetings friends!
It’s almost December, which means I (along with the rest of the GreenWorks team) take a step back and reflect on exactly what’s been accomplished over the course of the past 12 months. And friends, this year has been next-level. But none of it would have happened without YOU!

I’m Over 40 and My Style Icon is 17
Lily Lines – The Washington Post
This shouldn’t be so hard. I just need to put clothes on my body so I can leave the house. So why am I standing paralyzed in my closet with a pair of boots in one hand and leopard-print flats in the other, feeling tears welling behind my eyelashes?
