Badge of the Month

You've probably heard the phrase "dog days of summer" — it refers to the hottest, most sluggish stretch of the season. The name actually comes from ancient astronomy: it marks the period when Sirius, the "Dog Star," rises alongside the sun, which early Romans associated with the year's peak heat. Fittingly, International Dog Day also lands this month (August 26)! So whether you're melting in the heat, powering through a slow August at work, or just soaking up the last of summer, we want to hear how you're spending your dog days. Task: Share one (or more!) of the following:🐶 A photo of your pet living their best summer life 🧊 Your go-to trick for beating the heat or staying productive when everyone else has slowed down 🌅 A "dog days" moment — a lazy weekend, a summer routine, or how you're winding down before fallComment on a few other posts to keep the conversation going! During the first week of each month, we post a new question, topic, or activity for you to connect with the comm

If you didn't commit to a goal in January (or weren't part of the community yet), this is your chance to jump in: Pick a goal, skill, or habit you want to commit to for the rest of 2026 and share it now. Better late than never, the back half of the year counts too! Whether you're celebrating progress, taking a pause, or starting fresh today, every check-in helps keep us accountable together. During the first week of each month, we will post a new quest
