Paralyzing Fear of the Rumor Mill
It’s always a good thing to talk directly to someone. That makes a healthy community. Unfortunately, in some places, the rumor mill spins out half truths instead. In my former cohousing, someone sent out an email saying they were moving … Continue reading
A realistic advertisement for a cohousing home for sale
Sometimes I think what happened to me is unique because we were a new forming community and there were some unique issues that came up. But I have met a few people that had similar experiences, so my hope diminishes. … Continue reading
Help me, Mediator, you’re our only hope!
“I tried to make the case that you cannot successfully build community by sacrificing relationships on the altar of your principles.“ I love this quote by today’s blog post from Laird. I think I needed to hear it. I’m sad … Continue reading

End of Dog Days of Summer
End of dog days of summer Summer is not for dogs at the beach. They are not allowed until after Labor Day and then banned again after Memorial Day. Okay, they can appear after 6pm. But, now is the time … Continue reading

I love reading old Communities magazines. It comes with a membership of Foundations of Intentional Communities. It seems like the old adage – the more things change, the more stay the same. Same issues then as now with communities. In … Continue reading
Wild Child Book Review
Wild child: Girlhoods in the Counterculture is an anthology of memoirs by women who grew up in the 60s and 70s with hippie parents. Some lived in communes, others traveled the country, but they all have a story to tell. … Continue reading
