June 13, 2012 a project of ServiceSpace We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community. - Dorothy Day - How Gift-Giving Creates Community "Wherever I go and ask people what is missing from their lives, the most common answer (if they are not impoverished or seriously ill) is "community." What happened to community, and why don't we have it any more? There are many reasons -- the layout of suburbia, the disappearance of public space, the automobile and the television -- and, if you trace the "why's" a few levels down, they all implicate the money system. More directly posed: community is nearly impossible in a highly monetized society like our own. That is because community is woven from gifts..." { read more } Be The Change Consider the different ways in which you can increase the giving of gifts and gratitude in your own life.

On Missions and Metrics

June 12, 2012 a project of ServiceSpace What you appreciate -- appreciates. - Lynne Twist - On Missions and Metrics "There is an old Zen story about a man riding a horse, galloping frantically down a path. His friend, who is sitting by the side of the road, calls out 'Where are you going?' The man replies: 'I don't know. Ask the horse!' When we build our tools, we often depend on metrics to guide our development. We keep graphs of unique visitors and pageviews and watch them closely. This keeps us honest. It's hard to convince anybody that we're building a useful tool if our metrics show that nobody is using it. But we must take care when we use metrics. Metrics can be like the horse in the old Zen story. Once we decide on them, they have a habit of setting the agenda. As the old adage goes, what gets measured gets managed." MIT Media Lab Professor Sep Kamvar shares a thoughtful reflection on mission and measures. { read more } Be The Change Reflect on and question how you measure things in your own life, personal and professional.
