When I think about how far we've come in this past year, something really wonderful comes to mind: A better tomorrow is only created by the good people here today. 

In many of the stories I've written in the past, I find myself referencing ideas like tomorrow is a new day, tomorrow is another chance or the sun will come up again tomorrow. While all of these ideas are beautiful (and very true) in their own way, there's one thing I realized I never really discuss: Tomorrow needs you. 

I'm a firm believer that our world exists the way it is right now because of people paying it forward. Good people working to help others inspire the folks who received the assistance to go and do the same - it's a human instinct to want to be kind when we've experienced what true kindness feels like ourselves.

This was proven to be true by the actions of our community over the past year - the selfless giving we went over in our recent blog post shows just how critical the good people here now are to a better future. Because the reality is that all of us are on the other side from time to time - all of us could use a hand to get out of a dark place once in a while. 

My hope for this beautiful ZOX goes along with that idea - in order to create the tomorrow we so desperately hope for, we need you. Not this grand idea of you as a collective society, but you - the kind-hearted, wonderful human being reading this right now. I know that as just one person, it's easy to devalue the impact that you could have - for nearly my entire life I felt the same way. But in seeing how a small group of people could make such a massive impact in 2020, my hope for tomorrow is very bright when you're involved. So wear this one with pride and know that 2021 is better off with you in it. 

Big Hugs!
