Wednesday, April 16: Root Your Safety Hey, Lanturn fam! That Ohio factory fire—smoke choking neighborhoods—reminded us safety’s no given. We said test your smoke alarms, drop off pantry goods. Today, let’s root that in purpose—acting with a “why” that fuels us. This isn’t just checking boxes; it’s building a world where we all breathe easier. Grab a screwdriver, test those alarms—twist, press, listen for the beep. Dead battery? Swap it (NFPA.org has a guide). Takes 10 minutes, saves lives—yours, your kids’, your neighbor’s.

That’s purpose: every alarm, every can, is a brick in our safety. ...

Tuesday, April 15: Bounce Back, Stay Strong Hey, Lanturn crew! Monday’s flu spike hit hard—5 million cases, hospitals creaking. We said get your shot, wash up.

X says shot clinics are popping up in Seattle—join the line. These aren’t just chores; they’re armor for you and yours. ...
