Welcome

This blog is a collection of posts about "ideas that work". Simple, isn't it?
I find myself  in a world where the news is filled with failed programs, wasted tax dollars,  discouraging statistics, and folks screaming at each other.

After watching this news, I often need a lift.

If you are tired of hearing about how our schools are broken, alarmed by Global Warming, or annoyed by fanatics, check in often, to read about ideas that make things better. Learn about folks who are helping to solve problems.  Who knows, maybe you can use some of these ideas in your community?

I love finding out about people, organizations, and governments that are making things better. I find it immensely inspiring. After reading one of these stories I find myself thinking about it at random times during the day. A little bit of encouraging news can go a long way.

I hope my discoveries can also cheer you.

Please send me a note if you discover an "idea that works" so we can all be encouraged, motivated, and enriched. lhemenway@santarosa.edu

What a fabulous idea! Thank you for doing this. We can all use some good ideas and good news. This should be a great antidote to so much else we encounter in the world.
