Extended Family,

This evening marks the completion of the ninth year of life for my beloved daughter, Satya Rose Palsson — and I couldn’t be more proud of the brilliant, hilarious, kind and helpful being she continues to blossom into.

Today also marks nine full years of fatherhood for me — far and away my greatest and most meaningful adventure here on Planet Earth.

I’m celebrating 10/25, Satya Day, by sharing some of my favorite photos from over the years. Enjoy! There are many more on Instagram.

In the spirit of it taking a village to raise a child, I’m also sharing two opportunities to support this young leader.

My healing fundraiser is now over 80% of the way toward reaching its goal. Your much-appreciated contributions are not only helping to cover the substantial costs of my treatment and recovery, but also helping to keep rent paid, lights on, nourishing food in the pantry, and learning opportunities abounding for this precious soul.

The last few years, I've also begun a college savings plan for my little girl, including a tax-advantaged 529 account, which you can contribute to easily and securely by going to Ugift529.com and entering the code D55-X68.

Satya's time of birth was 7:00 pm Pacific Time, and we are off to celebrate the moment with a family dinner out. She is one lucky kid to have all of you as a network of care and support. And I am one lucky man to be her dad.

Wishing everybody out there a happy Satya Day!

With Love,

Nils

PS. We're often asked what Satya means. It is Sanskrit for "eternal truth" : )
