As my events-wrangling counterpart Stephanie noted in the last issue, I am currently on vacation — and I am having a freaking blast down south hanging with IMPACT pal Franco Valentino and his family. In fact, today, we went off-roading in the woods, which I have never, ever done before. (I've always wanted to, though!) Of course, it was a totally bouncy, ridiculously fun, rock-climbing adventure. Oh, and it was a stupidly gorgeous day, to boot!  But the best part is that none of our phones had any service for the three or four hours we were there. Not even a single solitary network blip strong enough to post a mouthy tweet, gratuitous cat photo, or unpopular food opinion. (For instance, all Twizzlers are gross. I will never be convinced otherwise. Wanna fight about it?) After months and months of late nights, early mornings, and always being "on" in some form or another, it was the most unexpected and perfect little gift this vacation has given me.  It was a blissful reminder that, even when we physically leave our computers and our work lives behind for a little while, that's not always enough. Sometimes, what we really need is to go into the woods, fill our lungs with as much fresh air as possible, climb a few rocks, and stop trying to control and know everything around you.  Sometimes, you just need to surrender. Anyway, here's THE LATEST!  👉 "Is it really that big of a deal that some of the data in the search terms report is now being hidden by Google Ads?"
