The Music of Metavari (@metavari)- An essential...
I am not a musician. I don’t understand how to compose music or play music… I can’t critique it based on it’s technical aspect. But I am a voracious consumer and lover of music, and from that point of view, I can offer some high praise for Metavari’s album “Be One of Us and Hear No Noise,” which was just gifted to me by a friend.
I first heard Metavari’s music a few weeks ago at Fortissimo and I...

Why It's So Important to Know Your Constituents →
As a fundraising professional for a local non-profit organization, I read tons of material about cultivating donors and creating relationships with constituents. I read this article today and it sent shivers down my spine. Lost opportunity indeed. It made me wonder: how many of these exist for my organization despite our best efforts?

One of my favorite blogs to read is Sit a Spell written by Heather Hendrick. She’s honest, raw, and encouraging in her writing. Recently, she’s been writing a series of blog posts about caring for the poor. Before you make any assumptions about this content, let me give the example of one…
Roller Derby on Nightline →
Gives a pretty good picture of what it’s like to be a roller derby girl… plus it contains an interview with my good friend Bloody Mary, whom I had the honoring of hiring as the first Executive Director of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association when I served on the board of directors.

“At the time, though, I felt distant from Zuckerberg and all the kids at Harvard. I still feel distant from them now, ever more so, as I increasingly opt out (by choice, by default) of the things they…

Thank you to everyone who commented, tweeted and emailed words of encouragement as I posted updates from Nicaragua. It was a life-changing experience; one that will remain with me always.

Another ending
I just got off the phone with my mom. She’s decided to sell the farm. As much as I understand it, my heart hurts so much. It’s like losing Papa and Nana all over again. I can’t imagine not having it there waiting for me. I miss them so much.

You visited me in my dreams last night and for a brief moment between wake and sleep I forgot you were gone. Miss you so much, Papa.

Great article on a service our friends at Turnstone provide to wheelchair bound individuals who need a ramp built but can’t afford it.
welfle asked: So, here's something I realized when having a Facebook conversation with a friend not too long ago. Seth Godin, while I agree with most of what he says, sometimes frustrates me. I think he oversimplifies in order to sound profound. What do you think?
Friday Humor
For my 30 and older friends. I can’t relate to all of it- I’ve always had a remote for the TV and a microwave, but someone sent this to me today and it gave me a good laugh.
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every...
