HOW TO BUILD A STRONG COMMUNITY: Why build a neighborhood community: 1.Learn History form others - build diversity, 2.Listen to true LIFE LESSONS: 3.GAIN SUPPORT FROM OTHERS

Learning history from others can be eye opening. We are facing book banning, news coverage that manipulates us.. however… history happened to people who can tell you what they witnessed. They can also tell you their experiences. No alternative facts either..

For instance: The incredible pilot Captain Chesley, (Sully) who landed the Airbus A320on the Hudson River. I lived in NY when this happened.

In 1965 When the former John Lewis, famous civil rights leader, marched across the Bridge to Montgomery for Voting Rights. When you build a diverse community- you can hear first hand these amazing events from people who were there.

Listening to true life lessons.. have you ever listened to immigrants or the elderly tell their stories of how they came to America to create a better Life? Where I used to live in Croton on Hudson, IMMIGRANTS built the Croton Reservoir (ITALIANS mostly). That Croton Reservoir supplies fresh water to New York City..

Or How the MIKATO INN was built for the silent film stars from NYC by the Japanese. This was built by the Japanese and the silent film stars would come there to perform and vacation. ( I lived in this “now renovated into apartments” Mikado inn..

Gain Support from your neighbors. It’s important to get to know your neighbors. For instance, I bike everywhere now, throughout my neighborhood to shop, work. Three of my neighbors are always telling me they will gladly give me a RIDE when it is bad weather or whenever I want a lift. More importantly, let’s just check in with each other!

A good way to start this process is doing some research by reading what the benefits are: SOBER CURIOUS by RUBY WARRINGTON "the blissful sleep, greater focus, and deep connection awaiting us all on the other side of alcohol" Merci [email protected] www.allinourminds.com
