Hello everyone:
Thank you for reading my blog. In doing so you are helping to create and spread awareness of what being "In the Zone" is all about, be it embracing the fullness of life (stopping to smell the roses is one of my learning objectives), or being moved by the contagious passion found in best-practice approaches to ending homelessness. Please be patient - I've never done this before. This is my year of technology, among other things.
One main intention for my blog is to spread awareness of what various agencies in cities across the country are doing to help individuals end their homelessness. Another intention is to keep connected to my community as I go venturing around this great nation of ours. I am nearly speechless when I try to articulate the gratitude I have for Paul Galvin, Virginia Piper and the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust who, among others, have made this experience possible. I am definitely "In the Zone", so much so, I ask for your help in keeping me focused on sharing and learning. What would you like to know about? What should I make sure I ask, see or discover on this journey? I'm attaching a document that outlines some of my stops. Take a look and let me know what you are interested in. http://www.docstoc.com/docs/38670278/Sabbatical-overview
One major concept I am focused on learning about as I visit organizations is the implementation and operation of Social Enterprise. Its that balance between delivering a social service and running a business enterprise…somewhere in the middle they come together to help individuals improve their lives while turning (hopefully!) a profit to support the organization and fuel a positive cycle.
I may not post in chronological order of experiences; I'm realizing already that some take more time than others to "sink in". I'm also realizing already that having time for things to sink in is just one of the luxuries of a sabbatical!
Please pass this blog address (http://inthezone-acaffarello.blogspot.com/) on to anyone you think might be interested, and please keep in touch.
Best regards and blessings,
Amy
