I recently received this card in the mail as a “thank you” from someone whom I had only recently met. Like a fresh breeze on a hot day, it was such a beautiful gesture and such a surprise to receive. I little dose of #hope is good for us all.

I recently received this card in the mail as a “thank you” from someone whom I had only recently met. Like a fresh breeze on a hot day, it was such a beautiful gesture and such a surprise to receive. I little dose of #hope is good for us all.

In this weekly [RE:CON]VERSATION series-within-a-series, thought leader and strategist Jennifer Sertl brings us #REFLECTIONS : a curated list of links mined from her substantive, expansive social technology practice. These resources span geographic and disciplinary bounds to identify sources of guidance and resilience that promise to be of use as we grow in our personal and community behaviors, seeking creative and professional evolution. 

In today’s post, we are not only given reasons to #hope — even moreso we are provided with #resources that suggest that such a strategic move is not only the work of the heart, but the evolutionary mind. Is it possible, perhaps, that our most human inclination – to dream – is our most valuable asset as we grow and change together towards individual and community #resilience? Indeed. ONWARD!
