I am so looking forward to this open and honest blog group.  Everyone sees the same thing differently and it helps to look at the points of view perceived by a diverse group such as this.  We may not be able to solve the problems we confront. But we may be able to help one another look at something from many angles, thereby getting more tools for dealing with issues.

For me, some of the topics that get me going are:  bigotry and intolerance; public safety without trying to “idiot proof the world;” people who have kids and don’t know how, or take the time to teach them right from wrong; women’s rights; animal cruelty; the way technology seems to have eliminated people’s ability to think for themselves and problem solve without a computer (kinda like biting the hand that feeds the blog, huh?); gratuitous violence portrayed on both the big & small screens as well as computer games; and so very many more!  I really am not a hot head.  I just play one in real life! LOL!

  • Claudia, I look forward to reading your thoughts on these topics, and the and any information and analyses about them you find interesting and want to share with the rest of us, whether through links, discussion, or both.

    Let me know if you ever feel that something you want to discuss doesn’t really fit into any of the categories I’ve defined; I can always add more!

  • I am in a period of transition. I want to go from opinionated and passionate busy-body to thoughtful and professional stateswoman (I know I have a long way to go). I look at people like Morgan Carroll and Linda Newell and Beth Klein and so many other people I respect who are passionate about their work but don’t get “stuck in the weeds”. There is a whole new level of involvement waiting for me to explore. If you see me lose my cool, I will appreciate your gentle support in getting back on track. : )

    Let me know how I can support you in your journey as well. Thank you Steve, for this opportunity!

    Life’s a trip. Let’s make it a pleasant one.

  • Very well said, Nancy! That’s what we’re here for: To engage in thoughtful, civil discourse, about everything and anything, with the purpose of moving together in positive directions. Let’s all work together to get it right!

    It’s great to have you here. As my six-year-old daughter says: “Are we there yet?” :)

    (To which I answer: “We’re never ‘there’, because ‘there’ means ‘somewhere else’. Once we get ‘there’, it becomes ‘here’, and ‘there’ slips away!” It works in the metaphor too; we’re never ‘there’, just always on the way.)
