Building Communities of Hope helps us
• Believe in ourselves and know we will find our people and community partners.
• Take steps to improve our lives.
• Address challenges and break through barriers.
• Build hope that’s our own – that’s practical and works for us.
• Strengthen our personal purpose and power.
• Develop deep community.
• Learn how to rebuild society and be a force for positive change.
Building Communities of Hope is a guide for us who yearn for positive change. It’s a roadmap for creating partnerships and making a meaningful difference in our communities. It’s a resource for those who need support and motivation to recover from life’s challenges. It's about finding hope in community.
We often face multiple difficulties in life. Things like natural disasters, accidents, health challenges, economic setbacks, addiction, inequities, climate change, and war. We can feel overwhelmed when we go through these challenges. This book teaches that there is a way through and beyond these challenges, especially when we rely on each other. Together, we have the power to do just about anything. That's where transformation happens!
This book shares stories of different people who brought positive change to their lives and their communities.
• The “little old lady in tennis shoes” who led a movement for positive change for older adults.
• A boy who influenced others to help the homeless, which grew into a large housing nonprofit.
• A model of recovery on a motorcycle who brought health and healing to communities.
• An engine on fire who engaged her entire community to grow a childcare center. .
• Someone who moved from an office in a broom closet to lead sweeping community change.
• People who are living through health crises with love, faith, and hope.
Every step makes a difference. Every single thing we do makes a difference. The way we live out our values of compassion and justice matters. A lot. Our work together builds over time and creates positive change. That's because every single act of kindness, compassion, love, shared action, advocacy, and justice has ripple effects. Some small, others large - some short-term, others long- lasting. Everything counts. It is often gratifying hard work and sacred space that lifts us up and powers up our communities!
We have the power within us! We have a spiritual force deep within. When connected to others and the energies of the universe, this power within can be transformational for ourselves and others. It energizes us. Connect with that spiritual “slipstream” and power up your life and the lives of those around you.
