Working with a community is important when trying to create change in our country because it fosters creativity, support, conversation, and provides a sense of empowerment.

Meaningful change doesn’t begin all at once—it begins with a single, intentional step.

We cannot build what we have not yet imagined—and imagination becomes powerful when it is shared.

Clarifying what we stand for doesn’t just shape our future—it changes how we feel and show up right now.

Some of the most meaningful change in history began with one person getting clear about their values—and refusing to live out of alignment with them.

Science shows that clarity about our values is not optional—it’s foundational to meaningful change. Schwartz, S. H. (2012). An overview of the Schwartz theory of basic values.

Lasting change begins when we move from reacting to what we oppose to clearly naming what we are ready to create.

We all have the ability to change our thoughts. Perhaps it would be helpful to have a few feel good thoughts tucked in our pocket to pull out and use when needed.

This month, we pause together and honor the work we have done and begin to explore what additional steps we are called to take to create the government we desire.

Resistance matters. It protects what we love and draws a clear line around what we will not accept—but it is not the only step.

Research shows hope helps us live with purpose. Let’s strengthen that purpose in ourselves and our country together.

Stillness doesn’t always require silence or isolation—sometimes it’s found in the softest, most ordinary moments of simply being.

When the political news is heavy, sometimes, a good political joke just may be what you need to lighten the load.

Some people don’t just believe in hope—they build it, share it, and ignite it in others. Today we pause to honor one such person.

New research shows hope is more than a feel-good emotion—it actually equips us for action, resilience, and meaning.

When we notice what’s steady or what still matters, we strengthen our ability to imagine something better — and imagining better is the first step toward creating it.
