It's that time again!! Yep, that's right, HID is back! As January 5th is coming to a close (it's 8:30 pm and i'm at work), I'm going to post my thoughts now, however scrappy, so at least i've gotten things started this year:
INTENTIONS:
1) professionally (which, thankfully, as i am a social worker, can have great and important social ramifications)-- redirect my career to address another population and/or another setting-- as this is a public site, i will be vague-- but who pops to mind (due to setting my heart on fire) is:
-- those who are homeless (making a showing for the fourth consecutive year on this site!)
-- those who are dying
-- those who are low income facing numerous obstacles to equality and social justice (i currently work with these folks, but i am not satisfied with numerous facets of the context in which i work and the types of assistance i am charged with providing.)
reasons for this intention: i am rarely set on fire at work, which means i am not personally satisfied. my gifts are not of sufficient use here, which is a waste. this has gone on long enough.
2) on a more personal, intimate level-- regarding my ENERGY-- focus on FOSTERING PEACE internally, and focus on EMITTING BRIGHTNESS outwardly. i think continual dedication to these two goals-- soft yellow on the inside, poppin' brights on the out-- would aid me, you, and them. this is for our country.

About
On this January 5th, celebrate the first of our nation's newest holiday, “Homeland Improvement Day.” Hone in on one issue that concerns, frightens, or just plain drives you berserk about the United States and the way we operate, function, relate, create, consume, or destroy. It can be political, societal, structural, environmental, educational, or any other “-al.”
Commit yourself to taking a step, big or small, toward the change you desire!
Think of planting a tree.
If you have already planted, commit to deepening the roots or expanding the breadth of the branches, or plant another. The more trees, the more ground we will cover, and the sooner the roots and branches will touch and tangle with each other.
Chat about it here; share with others, ask questions, network, consult, give and get advice, hold virtual hands... that kind of thing. Interlace the branches. Spread the roots.
