clubhouse chat: two golden hours

the best thing on your calendar this week is not a meeting. it is two hours outside, split any way you like. consider this your invitation to treat the outdoors like your third place.

the glow file

a study of nearly 20,000 people found that two hours a week in nature is linked to noticeably better health and wellbeing. the split does not matter. twenty minutes after dinner, one long saturday morning, coffee on the steps, it all adds up. and yes, the morning walk counts too.

the piggy bank

michael and susan dell pledged 6.25 billion dollars to seed savings accounts for 25 million american kids, 250 dollars each. the earliest dollars do the most growing, and that math makes us smile.

heard at the clubhouse

jay z wrapped his 30th anniversary shows in new york, and beyoncé and rihanna both showed up to celebrate. thirty years in, and the whole room still knows every word.

the sunshine page

in montana, a raft accident sent a man floating down the yellowstone river. jory thomas, 14, had spent a year practicing his roping. one throw, first try, and he pulled the man safely to shore.

and in richmond, dave whitlow, 73, has spent eight years as a volunteer cuddler for newborns in intensive care. before he sets each baby down he whispers the same six words: grow strong, grow smart, grow kind.

the dress code

editor's pick: the friday studio leggings in daisy yellow, 90 dollars. butter soft, golden hour approved, and the exact color of a july evening.

the passed note

look up tonight's sunset time and subtract one hour. that is your walk window. golden hour is a free glow filter, and it counts toward your two hours outside.

send this to a friend. that's how the club grows.

health is hot.
