September is home to some truly remarkable moments in history. From breakthroughs in medicine to the furthest reaches of space, these are the kinds of milestones that remind us of what becomes possible when human ingenuity, courage, and determination come together.

Here are three we are celebrating this month:

🫀 September 2, 1952 - At the University of Minnesota, the University of Minnesota surgical team (Drs. F. John Lewis, C. Walton Lillehei, Mansur Taufic, and Richard Varco) performed the first successful open-heart surgery using a technique called hypothermia, often called “code chill” or “code cool,” to temporarily stop the heart's blood flow.

🚀 September 5, 1977 - NASA launched the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which has since become the most distant human-made object ever to travel through space. Onboard is the Golden Record, a carefully assembled message from Earth intended for any extraterrestrial life that may find it.

🏗️ September 30, 1935 - In the middle of the Great Depression, construction on the Hoover Dam commenced, a monumental feat of engineering that was finished two years ahead of schedule.
These moments continue to inspire us to think bigger, reach further, and never underestimate what is possible.

Which of these September milestones resonates with you the most? Drop a comment and let us know!

As summer slowly gives way to fall, we are reminded that change can feel a little easier when we are surrounded by strong friendships. This month, we are sharing a story about five friends whose bond has proven that no matter how much life changes, some connections only grow stronger with time.

Since 1982, John Wardlaw, Mark Rumer-Cleary, Dallas Burney, John Molony, and JD Dickson have been returning to the same cabin on Copco Lake in California to recreate the same photo. The same five friends, the same spot, every five years.

What started as a spontaneous snapshot taken when they were 19 has become a four-decade tradition that neither distance nor time has been able to interrupt. This story serves as a beautiful reminder that strong friendships are built around showing up for one another, year after year, no matter what life brings.
