A wonderful project celebrating Irish diaspora in the U.S. and the experience of growing up between cultures - looking for support on Kickstarter now. Former D.C.-area singer/songwriter and Co. Donegal native (and mother of four), Áine Burns, is starting her new children's book series with "Irish American" - celebrating Irish American identity, family, and belonging. Last week to pledge support! @aineburnsmusic @GlobalIrish @GUGlobalIrish

What a way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day season: DC's own (well, thanks to Belfast & Green Island, Northern Ireland) Caroline Johnson, founder of Green Island Bakery, is featured on the #KellyClarksonShow for both the buttery baked goods and the social mission, supporting women coming out of trauma with job training, workforce development, and employment assistance. @GIBIrishBakery @CarolineSarahV @KellyClarksonTV @kalpenn

Stirring wisdom in yesterday's @usip conference, "Northern Ireland: Looking Back, Looking Ahead." Focus on north-south relations (Strand Two of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement of 1998), with such insights as from @UlsterUni community engagement chief @duncan_morrow that peacebuilding is also about the long-term learning, where value comes from improved lives, not photo-ops. Goal: Pilots -> Projects -> Policies.

A legend of Limerick & Shannon
Loves life & lives like he's jammin'
Also lives in D.C.
And he loves poetry
And tomorrow he'll share from his canon!

Surely it is traveling with not a sufficient number of books that should be the greater crime…?
