YES MAGAZINE!

I would recommend anyone interested in expanding their awareness of other people who are also creating real demonstrable positive differences in this world to visit www.yesmagazine.org.
May we all learn how to communicate and work together in succinct ways to add chapters, no volumes to the wonderfully objective, yet generally pragmatic pages in this interactively generative magazine.
One of the articles that really moved me is in the current Winter 2009 issue on page 51 "No foreclosures here" it is about the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative
(DSNI). These good people have created a sense of place that has created immense social value which in turn created stability, jobs, educational opportunities and other societal growth in ways yet to be discovered. By far the most dynamic creating community action I have read of to date. A model we could emulate right here and now in Pontiac, Detroit, Benton Harbor.... Well globally actually. But begin somewhere, locally is a good start!
