Where Were You on September 11th, 2001? (Fourteen years ago)

When answering a FB question, this is what I put..I've reflected on this more than most since I have the time and inclination to do so. Also in Canaan CT there is a huge flag hung from a crane with volunteers reading the names of all those who transitioned that day from their earthly mortal journey. I met a nice priest there who has since died so I think of him as well. When I have time, I'll add more, but for now, think of where you were that day and how your life was going. Were there troubles you were not aware of in your circles of family, friends and community?

I'm adding a great new FREE DAY of TALKS by Humanity's Team on October 24th, 2015. Go to their website and sign up (you can usually listen for 48 hours after each talk.) Share a summary here or some inspired ideas if you get to listen, making this post team effort. What a nice way to keep the momentum going from the Pope's visit to our United States of A-Miracle!

We need to live and learn (vote and work, talk and walk in our lives) in ways to make that kind of country a reality, starting with caring for Ourselves and Others in a Balanced Way!

Great Workshops for Non-Profits, Fall Festivals, Talks and Walks!

Reading the Litchfield County Times in CT (at the cozy Sharon Hotchkiss Library which has an art opening on Sept 12th from 4-7pm), I learned of some exciting happenings and thought Just Once, I'll try to share them in case someone can catch wind of them and make good use of the resource now or in future times (sometimes an idea or dream seed needs to be planted, watered with other feelings and folks chiming in and even investing some money, rides, childcare, or clothes to make it to the date on hand).

First up was an online cool idea from the ever-hopeful and visionary Ralph Nader (who grew

After school programs during the week (and some on weekends) are becoming a new way to offer students support in learning and exploring subjects and skills outside of the classroom. In the rural towns, money and transportation can prove common road blocks. Not so with SOAR in Salisbury CT (and Aha! in Canaan as well as offerings from HYS--Housatonic Youth Services) as well as The Taconic Learning Foundation in the Canaan area at Geer Village (which also hosts nice events along with Noble Horizons in Salisbury CT).

Small towns need many talented people to function not only to educate the next

From a Tick to a Mountain Top, Let's Follow the President's Lead (and listen to the bug a fellow found under his watch)

Everyone likely realizes that President Barack Obama is now taking on some mountain challenge in Alaska, no less! As cool as that sounds, he's not (just) going for the fun and adventure. He's actually publicizing the

Is he yelling it from a mountain top while learning how to manage climbing up and down amazing landforms and comprehending the effects of the icebergs melting at alarming rates? If we listen we may hear him loud and clear as though he were speaking directly to US-All.
