      1 min read      Ireland

Northern Ireland Lake My good friend Renie Howard has always been someone that, for me, defines simple grace in the way that she interacts with the world. She was diagnosed a few months back with a rare form of cancer. A couple of weeks ago she gave a talk at the Common Ground Meditation Center in Minneapolis (where she also chairs the board of directors). In her talk she discusses her journey since learning of her diagnosis.

A Sense of Place

      1 min read      Ireland      Professional · CommunityDevelopment

Our good friend Connie Loden recently published an article titled “Localism - What’s the Attraction?” on the NewGeography web site. “So, what is the “local” appeal? It is the character and quality of life that provides a sense of place – a reminiscence feeling of authenticity and knowing the source of where things come from, who made it and how it was grown. There is a desire to make the personal connection and create an experience in the purchase of a product.

We ventured out into the frozen evening last night to shoot some pictures at Menomonie’s WinterDaze 2008 parade and fireworks. The parade was organized by our good friends at Main Street Menomonie. Congratulations to the whole crew of volunteers who made this event a great outing.

Yes We Did

      7 min read      Ireland

Well it’s been a week now. The words President-elect Barack Obama are becoming easier for pundits around the world to spit out. Our conversations and thoughts now turn (I hope) to our goals for the future. Last Tuesday I spent a good chunk of the day knocking on doors for the Obama campaign, encouraging people to get out and vote. I had donated to the campaign, and was happy to spend at least a little time volunteering for such a good cause.
