It’s so easy to be apathetic or indifferent with a screen in front of you. Plus, it takes a special kind of person to seek these resources out. In person you are confronted with these ideas directly.
Happy New Year!

I think that is wonderful idea and a much needed one. Face to face in my opinion is always a better platform because we are able to create empathy just through visually seeing someone speak about their own experience. Even though I have a presence online… I wonder how much it helps? I think someone who would never empathize through an online discussion may do so in a face to face situation.

Good luck to you starting something in person and I look forward to chatting with you more on how it goes! Thank you for always reading and commenting and I too look forward to what you will read and write about this year on your blog! Cheers!

I am not sure what to think of this coming year but I know if I wallow now, I will have less motivation to resist and take action later.

I too will pledge to stand up for inclusion and a more socially just society. I couldn’t agree more that this is a the perfect time to make certain we keep writing and talking about these things. It’s also important that we do our part in the community as well. One of my challenges is to host a book group to discuss these ideas face-to-face. I feel like a lot of people are great about pushing these ideas online, and we certainly need that, but we also need to make a visible different in our community.

I look forward to hearing more about your board game challenge, as well. I love reading challenges, so I am very intrigued to see where you take this. Good luck with all your 2017 goals! I know I’ll be seeing great things from you. 🙂
