Choices

I choose who to invite… the residents… the citizens of our community… those
who live here… I decided to leave out of the conversation… for now… the
established local leaders… those who already have a platform…a voice …

I choose to have a conversation centered around what is good about our
community… the gifts… the possibilities…

I choose to hold the space… at the Center of our Community…

I choose the structure of A Small Group (ASG) meeting format…

I choose to show up… and those invited… choose to show up…

What I got was “WOW”… What I got was “Magical”…

From Shawn's first blog: Recently, I created an opportunity to make a difference in my community. I ran for city council and won! Although political campaigning and holding public office is not on my resume, I have marketing experience, enthusiasm and passion. Add a dash of magic and maybe a little something special can be created in our community.
