Rollercoaster

Hello friends,

I hope everyone had a good weekend.  Here at OMB, we had a bit of a rollercoaster weekend.  But really, with the kind of work that we do, that's par for the course.

We don't have predictable jobs. What happens one day, impacts and changes what happens the next, and the one after that, ad infinitum. Sure, we plan. We strategize. We head in a selected direction. But with one conversation, one generous deed or one thoughtless action, we have to shift ourselves 180 degrees to adjust. Sometimes, it's a good shift.  Sometimes, it's because we have no choice, and that's when it's hardest. But, we're getting good at it, and I believe it's that flexibility, that adaptability, that open mindedness, that is going to get us, and the beautiful bones you all are making, onto the National Mall.

Today, it's feeling like we're climbing up the big rollercoaster hill. We just keep ourselves focused on you all, on the importance of the work, and on the Mall, and know that the ride, ultimately, is exhilarating.

Have a great week, all.
