The gift of renewed perspective in this season of new beginnings. Reaching far beyond the public figures who serve as our leaders and who often bear the brunt of our residents’ frustrations, I would love to see all of us commit to analyzing what works in our community.  What if we made a concerted effort to be careful in our speech, making certain that we spoke with greater frequency about what is good and right about our city and the opportunities we are afforded by living here?
