From reason to righteousness, from justness to joy, from mistake to mayhem, we all have stories. Even though many of them are thought provoking, thought adjusting, thought generating, few see the light of day because we live in a world awash in communication overload where the duration between thought germination, thought formation and thought publication is near zero. Within that cacophony of mostly junk, much that should be said remains unheard because those who can say it took years to come by those ideas and would rather say nothing than try to say it in ten words. Here, we have some really cool nuggets that we have culled and mined through our years of engaging with real people, working real hard, overcoming real challenges for real change. These are some of our chronicles, testaments, observations, experiences and analysis on pretty much everything that we can focus our hearts and minds on.  Some are shorter, some are longer, none of it is actually blogging in the conventional meaning of the phrase where inanities are thrown out at people on a second-by-second basis.
