I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Turn off your TV. Leave your house. Know your neighbors. Look up when you are walking. Greet people. Sit on your stoop. Plant flowers. Count stars. Use your library. Play together. Buy from local merchants. Share what you have. Help a lost dog. Take children to the park. Garden together. Fix it even if you didn’t break it. Have potlucks. Honor elders. Pick up litter. Read stories aloud. Listen to the birds. Put up a swing. Help carry something heavy. Barter for your goods. Start a tradition. Ask a question. Ask another. Hire young people for odd jobs. Organize a block party. Bake extra and share. Ask for help when you need it. Open your shades. Sing together. Share your skills. Take back the night. Turn up the music. Turn down the music. Listen before you react to anger. Mediate a conflict. Seek to understand. Learn from new and uncomfortable angles. Know that no on is silent though many are not heard. Work to change this.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who want to teach me something new or learn along with me. People who care.
