Thank YOU! We are on vacation on the California coast. The world would be more awesome if we each spent time being "AWE-ED"! It's easy this week driving up Hwy 1! Nature has a way of doing that! Now, what do I find "AWE-ING" in everyday when at home? I'll be "Hopepunking" that thought & what I will do to make the world awesome! Thank you Brad!!

Ugh - this totally pulled at my heartstrings and now I want more! I'll be imagining all day long now! ❤️

I love this. Hopepunk is my new favorite term. A genre of literature I love to engage in is solar punk. I recently finished the Robot and Monk novella series by Becky Chambers and was so inspired by the messages within it, and the society that was built after humanity sort of woke up to the reality they created. Highly recommend. I think I will be spending some time considering how I can contribute to our future as a writer and artist. My kiddos loved your book, btw!

The word “re-imagining” has been so overused lately...and cultish. I love that you encourage the use of the root word instead...because isn’t that where it begins?

Love it. I heard John Lennon's "Imagine" in my head while reading this. Thanks for the great post.

I love this so much Brad. Thank you for your writing. I think we could all do with being a little bit more naïve and childlike in our imaginations. Children don’t know what ‘can’t’ be done of why something ‘wont’ work or ‘doesn’t’ happen in real life. One of my favourite quotes is from Matilda, inside all of us is the power to change the world. I believe it. In a small way, we can all change the world, even if it’s only for one person 🥰
