| Happy Fall Daily Actor, First, I want to share a huge dose of gratitude for those who contributed to our Fall Campaign. We’ve raised $90k of our $100k goal, so close! If you haven’t donated yet, please do. Second, I hope to see you next week at our Fall Open House. I love fall’s energy, the natural pull to slow down with the season, to gather together and dream anew. This is especially needed in moments such as now, with so much that is so challenging. Amidst life’s bustle, it’s vital to rest, reflect and reconnect, to celebrate what’s working and gently acknowledge our hurt and losses. We gather together to fill a deep-seated need for meaningful connection, to feel a part of something larger, to make sense of the beauty and hurt, our inspirations and outrage. Two recent gatherings that have put wind in my sails were the annual Localizing California’s Waters (LCW) State Conference and a more intimate affair in my back yard. Read more... |
