Stories that Help Us Feel Again

“In the last BLK reflection,  Dr. Gould named the communal grief and sense of urgency honoring the many civil rights leaders who have recently passed.  And just a day after her newsletter posted, we lost another icon this past Friday in Dr. John Perkins.  Dr. Perkins voice and work was formational for me over many years as he was for many.

Before hearing of this latest passing, I attended a “People, Power and Change” meeting with local community leaders to practice sharing our public narrative stories.  The stories for why we do what we do, the moments in time that called us into our vocation.  The focus was on finding our stories for when situations and life circumstances brought us onto a new path.”
