Our reaction to American's wanting to legalize marijuana

More and more conversations are stirring about the legalization of marijuana. According to a recent Gallup poll almost half of Americans are in favor of the concept. News Sources are asking Stephanie her professional take on the matter.

We Need More People at the Table

We continue to be a part of more conversations about the problems in the Western suburbs related to drugs. It seems that the more we learn the more we realize we have a long way to go to uncover more remedies for this large issue. Upon hearing from a few community leaders I continue to find myself wanting more people at the table to share their ideas and experiences so that more light can shine on the missing pieces. I’m hoping that more people will join the dialogue.

The Word is Spreading

It seems that the news in the Western Suburbs are taking the Addiction issues seriously. The Daily Herald also ran our Guest Commentary. Start dialoguing more in your communities about this issue and let us know about your conversations. We are also over  on Tumblr, Twitter, & FB.

Exciting Media for WillisCC

We had an amazing opportunity to write a guest commentary that is being run in three different papers over the next couple of weeks. We would love for you to check out this link! Thanks for your support and we welcome any feedback!

Moving

After much careful thought and consideration  . . . . we have created a tumblr which we are enjoying much more than the blogspot. The jury is still out but you may want to go on over to WillisCC on Tumblr and see what you think. I'm not so sure that I've figured out all the features yet but, here's to giving it a go!
Cheers!

Women Entrepreneurs

Recently I've found great support, friendship, & empowerment from sharing some networking moments with two amazing women entrepreneurs. It has been such a pleasure to learn more about other forms of Experiential Therapy out there and to join with other inspiring women!


I'm looking forward to another great lunch with them next week. Kudos to all the great work happening at Adventure Works of Dekalb and Chicago Adventure Therapy!!

Vounteering

Recently I found this awesome resource to help others get involved with volunteering in the city. Check it out: ChicagoCares . There are so many options of ways to help. Hoping you will start off your New Year thinking of others! Cheers.

Obama's Words from Tucson

"I believe we can be better. Those who died here, those who saved lives here - they help me believe. We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us. I believe that for all our imperfections, we are full of decency and goodness, and that the forces that divide us are not as strong as those that unite us."

I agree too that what matters is how much we love and what small part we play in bettering the lives of others. Thank you for this reminder to us.
