Wow! 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!

Music will always play an important role in my life balance. This Mosey Commentary will help you better understand my appreciation for the power of music…in most of our lives.
Read moreAt first it seemed that our political chaos and dysfunctional government could be remedied through the ballot box. However, the coronavirus was the heavier shoe to fall, making evident that we have more challenges than just government can handle. We The People need to muster all the resources we can influence, in all walks of life, if we’re going to pull ourselves out of this multi-faceted mess. I’m proposing that we reset the American Dream through a National Renewal Summit. Come join me and see what you think. Thanks in advance for making the effort.
