This insight and perspective is vital for us to understand that we are not responsible to fix all the problems, but to focus on your immediate sphere of influence. I love the phrase "CARING SMALL." That captures it beautifully. I started to realize in my 50's that I really couldn't make a difference at a federal or even state level (of course I can vote), but I could be a part of change in my community and neighborhood. So, now at 77 I can see some of the fruit of sowing seeds locally and watering, nurturing, and growing with a community. Currently, I focus my energy and resources in my neighborhood, church, and manage Stephen MInistry and Hope Community, which is creating and developing a teaching farm and community center in an African-American neighborhood that needs revitalizing. I believe we as a community can see change that will impact generations to come. Thank you for this wonderful interview!
