Summer Highlights from the DDC Team

The DDC team may not be playing the saxophone or swing dancing, but our June has been pretty fantastic, and we know July will be just as jazzy 😉

One thing I’ve noticed myself doing all summer is talking to everyone about how busy it’s been.  Because it’s true – it’s been BUSY.  I’m not sure that is what I want to focus on, though.  I’ve been reflecting on this recently after listening to a great audiobook by Jon Acuff called Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution To Overthinking.  

So what is it that I learned and am taking with me into July? A better soundtrack.  Summer is FANTASTIC.  Summer is FUN.  Summer memories make me SMILE.  

I hope this inspired you to make a new soundtrack for summer or anything you need to approach differently.
