As a teen, our small family relied on food stamps and food baskets. Right now there are plenty of opportunities to support food insecure families.
Today our family joined friends to volunteer at a local apple orchard donating their apples to area food banks. Many hands make for light work.

Going into the final day of the #MIHA State Finals with #LCSAthletics tied for first and a 2 point difference between the top three teams. What a competition it has been! Super proud of this girl and how she has grown as a horsewoman.

Yesterday @civilladetroit.bsky.social had a beautiful brunch and then a PARTAY to celebrate with old and new team members, friends, family, and supporters. What a privilege it is to be on such important work with people who care and believe so deeply in what is possible. #ChangeMakers

We missed the sunrise by about an hour but the mist is still rolling off the lake, the air is cool, and the coffee warm. We will catch it tomorrow. A week at the lake with my favorite people is balm for the soul. @therobdale.bsky.social

Yesterday @orlandopbailey.bsky.social
of @outliermedia.org reminded us that trust and relationship in storytelling aren’t built overnight, but developed over a lifetime.
At @civilladetroit.bsky.social this reinforces why our work starts with deep listening, not quick solutions.

Lots of thoughts this 4th of July on patriotism and what it means, on what it means for government to be BOTH effective and humane, and on the reality that government can be the last refuge for families teetering on disaster.
