It’s Time to Change

plant your seeds and reap the change you created.

This Site’s Purpose

Change isn’t easy. If you’re like me, I see the need for it everywhere. At work, in our homes, throughout the communities to which we belong, and even within ourselves.

Some of it is far outside of our control. In those cases, we can learn how to better manage our response, so that we maintain our well-being during the difficulty. At the very least we can make sure we aren’t making the problem worse.

This site focuses on what is within our sphere of influence. My goal is to encourage us to all work for something better and be leaders in making that happen. As the tag line suggests, I’m attempting to share information, insight, and inspiration.

Note: I know all the cool kids are making TikTok or YouTube videos and creating memes to convey their ideas on social media.

Maybe I’m a little old school, but I like to organize my thoughts in writing, and this site provides me with a way to refine those ideas and make them available to others who might find them useful.
