What a great story! I think between fires and social upheaval and climate dangers and a pandemic, we have either gotten closer in community or run ourselves ragged in opposition to it. So glad your story is so positive and so full of hope! And kindness.......
Thank you for the kind words! I'll keep working towards building community -- even though it sometimes seems like we are determined to "otherize" people rather than embrace them.
Wow -- "otherize" is a great term. Covers everything from Donald Trump talking about Mike Pence to how folks view the homeless folks on Tejon Street. Keep bringing crafted communication to America's disjointed conversations!
There's an Institute for Othering and Belonging at Berkley that sounds absolutely fascinating. They say "Othering is the problem of our time. Belonging is the solution." I plan on digging into it more in the future. Here's the link to the site ... https://belonging.berkeley.edu/
