Attempted to write about how what I’ve learned about local journalism and election coverage around the country, can cultivate more belonging in neighborhoods americanpressinstitute.org/s… Thanks for the opportunity @AmPress

Strengthen neighborhood belonging with your local election coverage

About three quarters of Americans report a sense of non-belonging in their local communities. If people don’t feel a sense of affinity within their neighborhoods, is it any wonder many people don’t...

Feeling inspired by Howard Thurman today: 'All around us worlds are dying and new worlds are being born; all around us life is dying and life is being born.

The birth of a child — life’s most dramatic answer to death — this is the growing edge incarnate. Look well to the growing edge!' —Howard Thurman

May we all look to our growing edges. What also strikes me is the silence of the roots who are doing all the work of connecting. Should we make that invisible work visible, or is it better underground, nourishing without requiring direct acknowledgement?

ssir.org/articles/entry/an_i… Good intentions. Curious how 'trust' is mentioned briefly only at the end, and how 'friendship,' 'feeling seen,' and 'listen' are nowhere in the article at all...

Learning From an Intergenerational Blowup Over Social Justice (SSIR)

Like so many organizations, our environmental nonprofit was rocked by internal conflict. What happened and what did we learn?

‘When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other through that great distance.’

‘They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.’ - Paulo Coelho

Empathy is easier when distances are closer, physically & soul-fully.

Would people still take (entrepreneurial) risks if there weren't as much financial upside? Is there a study? Curious if (many) others are motivated to spend time/money testing what's possible, even if there weren't possibility of ROI in money.
