A mayor should stand up and say something that a lot of people can agree with and do. It's one way that I see the mayor engaging the people, empowering the community.
I talked about the Season for Nonviolence three years ago with Mayor Miller, and although there was some interest we didn't get it off the ground.
Season for Nonviolence is a kind of community bootcamp. It was launched in 1998 at the UN in honour of Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King. Over 350 major organizations: religious, business, arts and educational, are now official co-sponsors.
For the next 64 days I am inviting you, my extended family, to come on a journey. Each day, starting on January 30th, I'll be posting a word or thought to my Facebook account, along with an associated quote or meditation. The first will be "Courage."
