About maintaining a positive outlook, it feels to me like we need to be completely honest about our feelings without getting mired or overwhelmed -- which will happen anyway, from time to time. For me, self care, inspiring and supportive companionship, and camaraderie are all helpful when that happens.

I am one of many motivated folks in Melbourne, Australia who have enrolled in the community leadership in sustainability program run by two local councils. I recently had a conversation with another 'member' on Saturday about the challenge of maintaining a positive outlook for the future. One of the presenters told us about Paul Hawken and his book, Blesed Unrest. I'm sure you would have come across it. This kind of input is just what is needed, to know that we are not alone in wanting to do whatever we can in our own communities to contribute to the wider world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951791977534953338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7200843551416287358.post-77412770784190500422016-03-19T17:22:50.698-07:002016-03-19T17:22:50.698-07:00Thank you so much, Mark!
