June 3, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace For fast-acting relief, try slowing down - Lily Tomlin - Know the Beauty of Place: Interview With An Eye-Opening Writer What is a place? We don't have a word for it, really. A place is an intimate thing. It's so much more than just an area you can measure. Jane Wodening says, "When I see one, and I see its welcome, I like to go and sit in it awhile. A place might be very small or cover acres and acres. It's full of people -- I mean, critters and plants and water and air and dirt and light -- living their lives and raising their children and being affected by the sun or the shade. There's so much in each place that you can't possibly stop talking about it if you want to get it all." Through her writing, Jane opens our eyes. This rich interview with her shares more. { read more } Be The Change We miss so much. Take a few minutes and stop and look around carefully. Just stay with it for five minutes.

June 2, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time. - Rabindranath Tagore - 9 Things Educators Should Know About the Brain Learning is a dynamic function that each person experiences in a vastly different way. For instance, one individual may retain knowledge the best by studying a textbook while another may need to link an idea to a physical activity they perform. It is important to apply this concept both in our classrooms along with our own daily lives. This is especially critical in a child's early formative years, as we can no longer apply "industrial methods" of education to our students today. In this piece, psychologist Louis Cozolino applies social neuroscience research to the classroom. He offers up nine insights from science that just might transform the way educators think about and approach their work. { read more } Be The Change Write a note of thanks to a teacher who made a memorable difference in your life.

June 1, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time. - Maya Angelou - Seattle's One of A Kind Food Forest Can food be free, fresh, and easily accessible? That's the bold question the city of Seattle is hoping to answer with a new experimental farm near downtown that will have fruits and vegetables for anyone to harvest. The planners have discussed what would happen if someone picks all the fruit for themselves. "But that's been perceived as a good thing," says one of the project architects. "We'll just plant more." Offering people free, fresh food is one motivation, but making the land useful and ecologically enriched is the larger goal. { read more } Be The Change Today, think about how you can increase your trust in the goodness deep inside others in your life.
