One of the best #upcycle/#reuse gifts ever - sails from #volvooceanrace boat, now a “sail” bag for my @laserperformance sails. Care of the ever creative and thoughtful @smilo_org and @conservatoiredulittoral organizations. Makes me love this work even more! #reduce #reuse #recycle #upcycle #precoverymindset #precovery #resilience (at Takoma Park, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ejibAHJSe/?igshid=3xezact6a61j

It’s Friday night. It’s raining. Perfect for a first look at my photo exhibit @takomabevco. Here’s your preview, but better in person. Particularly with a nice cup of java or glass of beer. Official reception to be announced. @mainstreettakoma - - Raising awareness (and funds) for the project work in #Newfoundland. Thanks to @artfulframingandgallery @art_of_dilip @frixspix for the lift this far... - - #fishstories #fishing #ourports #NL #Canada #photography #film #gonethefishgonethechildrenfilm #islands #islandresilience #resilience #precovery #precoverymindset #art #artisanactivist (at Takoma Bev Co.)

Today began early with a rare in person (safe) outdoor meeting in DC. Deep brainstorming fortified by coffee, a fire and my new @ndncollective power swag! #resilience #resilienceandregeneration #precovery #precoverymindset (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLxxkMzFRp0/?igshid=1s851h26g12es

Amazing and intimate dinner and conversations hosted by the @jfklibrary in the home of Commodore Stephen Decatur. Great mix of people and backgrounds, opening up on our “ask not” moments, “moonshot” ideas and how we navigate our globe’s challenges. #resilience #precovery #precoverymindset #asknot #moonshot - - Some updated furnishings but a surprising number of original pieces of furniture and other furnishings. That’s the commodore’s original sword on the mantel. The house, the whole block really, was saved in great part due to the actions and foresight of First Lady Jaqueline Kennedy. #DecaturHouse #dc (at Decatur House) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oXDYVHbqQ/?igshid=no7i2s15e316

Good Monday morning from the train north. Dawn breaks on a new day, a new week, and new adventures with some incredible people from around the globe as we build on the legacy of @100rescities, @rockefellerfdn & the many partners, supporters & movement makers to build #resilience. #resilientcities #resilientcommunities #precovery #precoverymindset https://www.instagram.com/p/B4uW6oSgHBD/?igshid=a8otyzsd0fha

Reflections. In the midst of our recent trip, which began at the close of the 6+ year #100RC journey, I happened to need “that extra bag” I always carry in my ultimate #precoverymindset @thenorthface #routerbackpack. Deep within the folds of the front pocket, next to the first aid kit, flashlight, mini speaker, umbrella and two micro tripods was the @baggu fold up bag. - - I carry all of this with me (and more) all the time (just ask anyone who had grabbed my backpack at some point), but I had forgotten the bag’s origin. A flood of memories of #TheCityResilient event, the @100rescities development research, #HurricaneSandyTaskForce and more came into my mind and heart. - - That was June 2013 and we were preparing for the launch of the first wave of the 100RC challenge round and @poptech hosted The City Resilient at BAM in Brookly/NYC, as we were doing ongoing partner/finance meetings post Sandy. It was an amazing and inspiring time and these 6+ years have flown by with major impact from the #resilience movement. And the work and the movement continue. Like a bag that #HermioneGranger might carry, that little bag held a whole lot of history and storytelling! And it’s quite useful. #precovery #precoverymindset #resilientcities #resilientcommunities #oceanresilience #islandresilience (at BAM) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1_nRo1AqmJ/?igshid=12hdihi9vdku5

My first “sea” was this body of water, Lake Michigan, and I remember clearly the thrill of first catching sight of the blue-green shimmer over that last hill as we approached #TraverseCity or #Petoskey. Eventually I discovered the ocean’s lure and it’s kept me firmly in its grasp ever since, but I still get a thrill when I see that home water. And some days I get this (Third) coast to coast view. Like the ocean, Lake Michigan and the rest of the #GreatLakes and it’s contributing waterways, is under threat and has been for some time - overfishing, pollution, plastics/micro plastics, development/tourism pressures etc. Add to this corporate water bottling contracts and government negotiations and the threat to our fresh water resources (a right for all) increases. We must all do our best to fight for protections and access to these liquid gems, small and large. #precovery #precoverymindset #resilience #bluemind #blueeconomy #bluetech (at Lake Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rM_TeCUGL/?igshid=4lsd9nkzsfjc

Super pleased to be heading to another @oppfinance regional summit to talk about the Resilient Community Development Finance Campaign and “resiliencizing” the broader community and impact investing arena. Keeping the movement going! See you in Kansas City and thanks to #OFN and the #FED for being great partners. #resilience #precovery #precoverymindset #resilientcities #resilientcommunities (at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1qs-5ZCG9b/?igshid=1dyovu9sqnsjd
