If you're a regular reader of my blog, you may remember that back in October 2013, I wrote a blog entitled Live-able Neighbourhoods. Following the release of that blog, I was contacted by a local grassroots group that is also interested in the viability and sustainability of life within neighbourhoods. I have become involved in one of their projects and while I wholeheartedly support their efforts am unable to commit too much time to their projects. Whatever we can do, individually or as a group, to direct attention back to the extinction of live-able neighbourhoods is commendable.

Tune in - to People!
Every Christmas we start thinking of the new year and what we will do, what we would like to do and what we would like to accomplish. If I could have one wish for 2015, it would be that we would become more aware of people in all aspects of our lives
When we become so engrossed in our own world, to the exclusion of how, what we do affects others, we run the risk of creating that which we don't want. People who need our attention don't suddenly appear. They have been here all along, but, we've been too preoccupied to see them, let alone attend to their needs. Not everything is going to be so drastic as the following examples, but, the fact is, this does happen. Don't let it happen on your watch.
