We need a reset. We need to slow down, pay attention and finesse our gaming and political strategies to give us better options. We’ve allowed/enabled the political charlatans to keep us off-balance, and we’ve got to reset ourselves, reclaim our political parties, and our systems of government if we wish better outcomes. The action, courage, and spirit of the Ukrainian people should provide sufficient inspiration to encourage our efforts.
Read more“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.

Wishing you and yours a Happy, Healthy and Hopeful New Year!
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 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!
Read moreThis experiment in American Democracy has taken quite a beating of late. It’s frayed and worn, battered and beaten, with many holes to patch. But, we’re recognizing that fact, are better able to be we the people who become We The People in the rebuilding of this Country. I have great confidence in our potential to be catalysts for good. Please join me as I outline some suggestions for our consideration. Let’s do this. Together.
Read moreWow! What a horrible year we’re leaving. And while there are many reasons for New Year optimism, we’ve got lots of work to do as individuals and as engaged members of community if we’re to rise to our New Year’s occasion. We’ll need to be well informed and our healthiest best to serve ourselves, those dear to us and our communities. In this Mosey commentary, I reflect inspiration from Ann Richards and Tom Brokaw to spark my Better Angel New Year quest. Join me to see if some of this resonates. WISHING A HEALTHY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
