Let’s Talk … Conversation in a Time of Virus

Let’s Talk … Conversation in a Time of Virus

I don’t know about you, but the isolation that comes with social distancing is a challenge. As a result, I am going to host an online conversation this Wednesday, March 18 from 5-6:30pm Mountain Daylight Time. In order to participate, send me your email and an expressed desire to be in conversation with others to my email, ed@wordpress-488199-1628870.cloudwaysapps.com.

There is no agenda. Each person will have the opportunity to introduce themselves. And the group will decide what it wants to discuss.

The conversation will be moderated to ensure respect and openness of expression.

Two Global Forces in Africa

Two Global Forces in Africa

Entering a world that is dramatically different than my own, as I did in going to Africa, things stand out. Traveling in the rural areas, seeing motorbikes used to haul goods. Harvested agriculture products spread on the ground beside the highway ready to be loaded to be taken to market. People living in extreme poverty. Visiting a hundred-year-old man, who was homeless because he had outlived his family, showed me the power of local communities to mitigate the effects of poverty. Through these experiences, and more, the Two Global Forces took on a deeper, richer meaning.
