With many traditions around the world marking September as a time of harvest and start of a new cycle or year and with public school, private and homeschool people shifting their routines to interact with many others after time off over the summer or from other programs, there is plenty to consider as a person, community member and in larger contexts. In America, the time of remembrance of the September 11th, 2001 is coming around, with more people aware of the possibilities that it may not have been what was portrayed in the media or even what eye witnesses came to believe they were seeing.

Helping and Healing for Hurricane Dorian Victims...in the Bahamas and as may result

While the weather has been ideal for a Labor Day Weekend with summer fairs and outings in much of the USA, the fear of Hurricane Dorian has become a reality for those in the Bahamas. I got a newsletter on the email from Mercy Corps, a longterm medical outreach, for an Emergency Donation for Humanitarian Aid. Look up their site, the American Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders (I met one of their outreach folks by Grand Central last week in NYC.) There are ongoing needs in some places, but these natural disasters garner our attention.

I love hearing about programs for people that enrich their options to network and learn something along the way... With dance there's a 'universal language' that more people are appreciating if not only from commercials on television.

I shared this post on the Great Barrington Community Board of MA. There may be a new group starting due to some issues with that one. A person shared a site I looked into a bit, BerkshireCommunityLandTrust.org

Here are other thoughts as well..Good luck to all preparing for Hurricane Dorian in Florida and big thanks to all able to help others whether in the state or travelling from other states. Hunker down and stock up on supplies (first.)

Likely there are lists to doublecheck to have fresh water, food and canned goods, basic medicine and supplies handy (maybe even adult and child briefs if

While most states and cities have online resources listed for those intereseted in the US and likely other countries, hearing from the people living and working in an area or otherwise studying or visiting the area (sometimes for years as part of a summer experience or private school or other longterm connection and other times more as part of travelling, going to events, visiting friends and more) can help one feel like they are tuning in to important realities.
