I can’t lie. It’s been a rough few years. That said, this year, personally, I finally found love, and got married.

Divided by social media, which shows us what we want to believe, most of us have left decency and facts behind and elevated opinion and invective.

That doesn’t make Elephant less relephant—it makes our mission, and your community…you…more vital. Let us invest in timeless wisdom, in awakening, in caring for our world. Please make sure you get our newsletter, and stay connected this year. We’ll share our best, and most helpful, in our newsletter and our iphone app.

In that spirit, enjoy the below best of!  ~ Waylon H. Lewis, founder.
