Happy Holidays!

Whether you're traveling to visit loved ones
or keeping cozy in your own home,
we hope you are finding
joy and warmth
this holiday season!

As 2018 comes to a close,
let's take a moment to reflect on the year...

What conversations helped us see issues in a new way?
What steps have we taken to build bridges?
What purple points have we found with our neighbors?

Let's celebrate the common ground we've found
and think about next steps... 

There is plenty of work left for us in 2019!

​See you here @ Meet in the Middle next year...

There's a lot of hustle and bustle at this time of year.

People are searching high and low for the perfect gifts.

Yet the greatest gifts don't need wrapping.

We can give them freely each and every day.

What can we give each other?

The gift of
TIME
Take time out to have a
purple conversation.

The gift of 
LISTENING
Listen to others
with an open mind
and an open heart.

The gift of 
RESPECT
Make sure your words and actions
show respect for all.

The gift of 
CARE
Treat everyone with
kindness and care.


The gift of 
TRUST
Be honest with others about your opinions.
Speak your truth.


The gift of 
GRATITUDE
Thank those around you
 who challenge your thinking
and broaden your perspective.


The gift of 
FUN
Find ways to lighten the mood
when you're having difficult conversations.
​Take time to enjoy one another!

The gift of 
HOPE
One of the greatest gifts
we can give
each other is the
firm belief that
we will
make a difference together.

Let's remember,
throughout the year,
that we can continue
giving
to one another
and
to our country.

Let's remember to give...
The gift of 
PURPLE!

A Stately Chapter In Our Nation's History

This week,
we remember former president
George H. W. Bush.

He was a remarkable man
who wore many hats
in a lifetime of service to our nation.

You could disagree with his politics,
but you could not question his character. 

He called on us all to create a kinder, gentler America.

He urged us to volunteer our time and our talents
to our local communities.

He wanted us to be part of what he called,
"a thousand points of light...
community organizations
​that are spread like stars
throughout the Nation,
doing good."


Let's take a page from
his chapter
in our nation's history.

Let's seek to fill our lives 
and our country
with
hopefulness and meaning...

While working 
together
to create a
kinder,
gentler
America.
