Kyle Green remembers his first deer hunt. “I was eight years old and hunting with my dad when I got my first – I shot it with my grandfather’s gun,” he says. “We cleaned it and I went through the whole process. I remember being overwhelmed with pride; truly, it put me in a different mindset about the natural world and our resources.” That early mindset didn’t include dreams of glory or trophies; it didn’t lead to a hunger for the thrill of the kill. It led to an understanding and a deep respect for nature and as he grew into an adult, Green refined his mindset into a mission of conservation and protection of wildlife and its habitat on Earth.

Warmer days, blooming trees, and longer evenings invite us to step outside, open a book, and unwind. Reading this time of year feels different. Whether on a porch, in a park, or on a beach towel, it becomes less about rushing and more about savoring stories. In a busy season, reading offers a gentle pause. It lets the mind wander as the world comes alive, making books simple, calming companions.

Have you viewed pictures from the Hubble Telescope, like the Tapestry of Blazing Starbirth or the Ring Nebula, that light up the darkness with bursts of magnificent color? Have you pondered the quantity of stars—too numerous to count? Have you paused to wonder what it’s all for? What are we to learn or understand from it? Is there purpose in it all? Is there something, or someone, out there?

There is no doubt in my mind that this has been a long, cold winter. We’ve all felt it. We’ve all complained. I like to stay active throughout the year, and I love being outside soaking up the fresh air and vitamin D that Michigan offers. For the past few years, my husband and I have taken early morning walks in our neighborhood with our dog. Using my fitness app, we measured that walking the entire neighborhood equals 3.1 miles. That’s perfect when the weather is great—but not so much when the roads are snow-covered and the cold wind stings your face.
