Warm Heart at Work

It is July 4th weekend and while Americans celebrate the launch of the boldest political experiment of its day, Warm Heart is celebrating surviving its first year. Perhaps we, too, will go on to great things, but I suspect that the founding fathers would empathize with Carole, Evelind, P’Tie and me and our experience of the day-to-day reality of leading a start-up! Every day is a surprise, a party, a scary roller coaster ride, a frustration, a fantasy, a moment of terror and a flash of inspiration.

At our first 4th of July BBQ we released a traditional Thai hot air balloon lantern. As it rose into the light rain, P’Tie turned to me and said: “The farther it goes, the better our luck.” I watched it as it rose higher and higher in the dark sky until it was the only glowing speck in the sky. It went longer and farther than any of the others in the Phrao sky that night. So far our luck is holding.

Here’s to our second year.

Happy Birthday, America!

Happy Birthday, Warm Heart!
