"...revolution begins with the self and in the self.” -Toni Cade Bambara This quarter, I encourage us to explore community, service, and the act of giving back. 1. What and who make up your community? 2. What is your role in that community? 3. What roles do you take outside of your community? 4. Are there any expectations or responsibilities that come with your role in and out of your community? 5. What are ways you can give back to your community? Can your role in the community leverage the ability to give back? I challenge us to explore these questions and create an action item to GIVE BACK. Let's continue to challenge for a better path for ourselves AND acknowledge where we're able to pave paths in kind. #thoughtfulthursday #community #service

Faith does much more than guide us spiritually; it serves as a foundation for positive change right where we live. Encouraging local solidarity, it helps neighbors support each other during tough times. It's not just about believing, but also about doing – from providing meals to fixing homes to offering a kind word. Every person should tap into this powerful force for community good.

Community: The Umbrella That Shelters Us All In the midst of life's storms, we search for shelter. For me, that shelter is community. It's the umbrella that protects us from the rain of loneliness, the wind of adversity, and the thunder of doubt. Under its canopy, we find strength in numbers, comfort in shared experiences, and solace in collective support. Community is the thread that weaves our individual stories into a rich tapestry of connection and belonging. Let's come together under this umbrella, shall we? Let's celebrate our differences, lift each other up, and create a ripple effect of kindness that resonates far beyond our own little corner of the world. #CommunityFirst #CommunityManagement

Helping others is an essential aspect of creating a supportive and compassionate community. Acts of kindness, generosity, and empathy, whether small gestures or significant contributions, have a profound impact on individuals and society as a whole. These actions not only enhance the lives of those we help but also bring happiness, satisfaction, and purpose to our own lives. By volunteering, lending a listening ear, or performing random acts of kindness, each one of us contributes to a positive ripple effect in our community. Building stronger relationships and fostering a culture of mutual support leads to innovative solutions and a more resilient society, where people come together in times of need. Moreover, helping others sets off a chain reaction of goodwill. Witnessing acts of kindness inspires others to do the same, creating a culture of positivity and support that spreads throughout the community. Together, these actions create a more compassionate and interconnected world for all. #support #community #kindness

Giving is the act of providing or sharing something with others, often driven by generosity, compassion, or a desire to contribute to the well-being of others. It can involve tangible items, such as gifts or resources, as well as intangible things like time, support, or kindness. Giving is a fundamental aspect of building connections and fostering a sense of community. Giving for me is a free consultation & teaching others. #givingtuesday #givethanks
