Dear Minnesota,

Your cold weather was no match for the warmth of your people. It was my first time visiting, but I felt like I was home. It was the first meeting some of your best and brightest, but it felt like we’d met long ago.

Your rivers and lakes are breathtaking. Your trees are never ceased to make me gasp at their beauty.

Your residents are so loving, thoughtful, generous, empathetic, and funny af.

So please be kind to them next winter.

Love,

Jess
