The next time you hear from me, it will no longer be February. The store aisles will be covered in leprechauns, bunnies and pastels, slowly ushering in the new season.
The Daily Breakdown, however, will continue to have the same theme, colors and news for you to read. We are glad to be a constant in your life.
Today, we have a recap of when National Latino leaders visited Minnesota, our columnist reflects on her time without her smartphone, and A&E highlights a beginners cross-stitching workshop.
Stay golden,

National Latino leaders traveled to St. Paul Feb. 12 to meet with immigrant communities and local activists following recent federal immigration enforcement actions.
The delegation included leaders from UnidosUS, the Hispanic Heritage Foundation, Global Refuge and many more individuals to witness and learn about efforts to protect families across the Twin Cities.
Henry Jiménez, president and CEO of Propel Nonprofits, said the meeting was driven by concern for local communities and finding ways for national organizations to leverage their platforms to send resources back to Minnesota.
