Got Community?
(I find them very motivating.)
This one started with a story about a little town in Pennsylvania.
The whole town seems to have migrated from the same little town in Italy.
They keep to themselves.
This little city is nothing remarkable.
Except
that illness seems to be rare in this little city.
This got the attention of some researchers.
Could there be something in the water?
No, neighboring cities use the same water
and they get sick twice as often.
Could this little city be eating healthy?
No, they love their meat pizza and desserts.
The difference?
The community was a true community.
Residents talked to neighbors and people they passed on the street.
They supported each other.
Wealth was not displayed
and poverty was felt much less
because the community supported those who were struggling.
It seems that if we just spent more time with our friends and neighbors
our health would improve.
Do you have a community?
I know I would love to see a stronger one develop here.
What will it take?
I have an idea……
I can’t wait to share…..
I believe it will start with the kids.
I need a little time to develop it,
but I am excited!
