Dear Ritu,
Thank you for reminding me. I just uploaded my photo as my new avatar image. I'm not a fluent English speaker, so I may not post on this platform often. But I will always remember to visit this site and learn from all of you.

Thanks team. Am humbled
But I see I a photo? I put one at the start. Don't you see it?
My experience in this particular is brand new. Most of my experiences of community both good & challenging have been faith-based in the United States, Canada, & Puerto Rico.
For several years I was active in the Mankind Project local community in Cleveland, OH. New Warriors is a rite of passage for men with weekly groups for support. I facilitated several of these during my time there.
I love everything about community, especially sitting in circle. Currently, I am a co-host for monthly World Cafe online calls. Also, taken a course on The Circle Way.
My BIG wild idea is a sustainable ecosystem where each of us is supported for life. We have someone greeting us at birth and usually helping us leave at death. Our first breath is witnessed by another human being. And, so is our last. Why not have life support for every breath in between? From cradle to grave.
Rituu,
Your post is inspiring! I had to grab the last part and repeat it here:
Everyone knows what isn't right...their flaws, their weaknesses, but few people know and focus on their strengths, the talents, their skills, their blessings... what is right. It's true isn't it... when our own mental patterns guide us we feel so empowered, no matter what challenges we have, no matter what mountains we need to climb, we make a plan and go about getting it done. More importantly, when we share our dream with others they feel the need to help us fulfill our dreams. We dream together and each other’s words feed our minds and stimulate thought and action.
I end with a beautiful quote by Dom Helder Camara: When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality.
Yes, I will add a photo. Working on a new headshot.
Dear Rituu,
Thank you for your very kind words. I will try and do a few statements. At the moment however, I'm bogged down with some strict deadlines.
Cheers!
