“Let’s Get Smarter!” I love this welcoming invitation from one of our national news pundits. We’ve got to be better informed, so we can be more effectively engaged. Our appointed and elected officials will only do better when we expect better. The Pittsburgh bridge collapse is our perfect metaphor for the broader challenge. Broadbased infrastructure compromised through governmental neglect. Another blatant example of community integrity being threatened by irresponsible leadership. Let’s expect better, and work for it. LET’S GET SMARTER!
Read moreWow! Our one Covid year became two+, and we’re still hoping to wind down this particular challenge over the next few weeks. Then, we can more readily address several lingering governance issues, while noting the emergence of new ones. I contend that we’re ready to rise to our occasion with more inspired leadership and collaborative partnerships. We have the resources…just need the will and commitment. This Mosey commentary should prove helpful in your sorting out your role in this civic challenge. We’re on an erratic learning curve, but I have lots of confidence that we’re poised to do better, to be better, to model better. With no better time to consider our opportunity. Wishing you and yours a Happy, Healthy and Hopeful New Year!
Read moreIt’s gotten tough to be a Texan, but we can’t give up. There are too many multi-talented good folks who care and expect better, to let a few small-minded politicos determine our destiny. We’ve got to be better informed, committed to work with others to pursue mutual goals, and then take the leaps of faith that might speed our progress. Please join me, read about my “Leap” experience and consider how you might take your personal leap to better. Let’s leap TOGETHER!
Read moreIncessant political chatter and punditry are wearing on most of us…and not wearing well. Between Covid, weather disasters and dysfunctional governance, we’ve got more than we can easily handle. Some constructive distractive breaks can work wonders in resting and rejuvenating mind, body and spirit. My music and photo libraries provide this for me. You’ll know what works for you. If not, the exploration will do you good. My best on your journey. ENJOY!
Read moreWe The People have been simmering long enough. As in the parable, it’s long past time that we jump to safety. The overwhelming challenges of the day, including Covid, weather disasters, Afghanistan lessons and the constant of dysfunctional government, are too much to tolerate without some constructive response. Come join me to consider some possibilities. Let’s jump…TOGETHER!
Read moreWe Americans have been on a collision course with many inconvenient truths, and I see the month of August as the perfect storm to focus on our cumulative challenges and solutions. We can accomplish a lot by focusing on our pandemic response, and our dependence on healthier politics and a more responsive governance to deal with a multiple of issues. Again, We The People are the “they” who can best come to our rescue. This potential success is dependent on TRUTH, a better informed populace, a more civil political discourse and responsive governance. Read on and consider what we can achieve…TOGETHER.
Read moreSpring has sprung, and we’ve got many reasons to be optimistic. So, why are so many of us still stressed, tired and sympathetic with this sculpture? Five years of poisonous politics, layered with 15 months of Covid-19…enough to take its toll on most of us. Memorial Day reminds us of the ultimate sacrifice. So, the least we can do is raise our game in civic engagement to honor those who enabled our attempts at self-governance. We The People are better than this. Our children deserve better than this. Come join me, and consider some positive options. LET’S MOSEY!
