“Direction can be a funny thing. You can start off one place, certain you know where you’re headed, and then the rain falls— and you must decide what’s next. It may take you on a remarkable detour ... life often does that. But the direction you end up going is based entirely on how adventurous you’re willing to be.” — @dawngarcia, ĀTÔD Magazine

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he s

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” —Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength to Love, 1963

On Wednesday, January 20th, while we hold our breaths hoping that the inauguration of a new President and Vice President symbolizes a day when America once again regains its promise to remain democratic and unified, let us hold our leaders to higher standards. And may we hold one another accountable by lifting our voices, implementing policy reform, and begging those hellbent on violent acts of malice to stop. We’ve been emotionally, mentally, and soulfully taxed and we—fair minded human beings—are exhausted. But we must never be so exhausted that we fall in to inaction. We must never be so tired that we fall into silence. And we must never be so foolish to think anything is accomplished by violence or hate, indifference and apathy.

As for what this day represents to us as a company and magazine, it is a reminder that we have a job to continue doing. We have a responsibility to be on the right side of history, and it takes more than just talking about it. We are actionable, and will continue to educate ourselves, work in alliance with organizations and human beings that fight for racial justice and right systemic wrongs through policy reform, legislation, activism, and civic responsibility, and we will never take the position that we have done enough. This is a lifelong commitment.

Martin Luther King, Jr.’s work continues through The King Center for Non-Violent Social Change.

Author Paulo Coelho said, “I can speak to my sou

Author Paulo Coelho said, “I can speak to my soul only when the two of us are off exploring desserts or cities or mountains or roads.”

Coelho was onto something. While 2020 may be a year none of us will ever forget (for more reasons than we can count), it has opened our eyes to the value of hopping in the car and escaping the pandemic woes. Part of that escape means sometimes going on a drive alone, grabbing the #kids for an #adventure, or sitting in the driveway with the radio on blast. And we have done it all, but none of it was quite as fun as when we did all of those things in the 2021 @chevrolet Tahoe. We were lucky enough to collaborate with Chevy and drive the brand new 2021 #Tahoe @generalmotors loaned us for an entire week, and what we found was a beautiful vehicle that quite honestly exceeded expectation.

Ahh, the days when we used to go to amazing #cocktail tastings with lovely human beings like @cocktailninja

So grateful for the opportunity to work with and meet so many amazing #mixologists and #chefs through #ATODMagazine. Sharing their stories and that of #artists, #filmmakers, #musicalartists, #writers, #designers, #activists, #visionaries and more is an honor and a privilege. One I don’t take for granted. So while we wait out this pandemic ... may we celebrate the beauty in the world and the people out there doing good work, making others smile, and actively uniting humanity.
