Last week, we announced a new community platform where our community can gather to share action ideas, meetups, events and more. Join at https://t.co/2PxC7hsk09 #meetup#activism#goodnews
This week, we break further into the topic of animal welfare, touching on a subject which may be difficult for many - animal cruelty - in an action that asks our community to consider a shift to cruelty free products.
We came out and did a bit of gardening with The Niles Foundation this morning to help beautify and maintain their community garden. Such a nicely organized volunteer event, and a beautiful garden to spend a bit of time in. We can't wait to come back! #volunteer#volunteering
A sweet and simple "just saying hello," can go a long way, too. Simply showing up is the right way to start engaging in more deep, meaningful connections over time where generations can truly get to understanding one another. #connection#generation#intergenerational#aging
This week we asked you to consider setting a connection intention, as part of our action for intergenerational connection. Setting a connection intention is as easy as setting up a calendar reminder.
A few of our favorites: "I saw a truck that looked like your old Chevy and it made me think of you." β’ "Just wondering about what's going on in your world. Let's catch up!" β’ "Love you, miss you." β’ "I saw your post on Instagram, your dog is so cute! How are you?"
It may mean setting up recurring hang out or phone call with your connection directly fits into both of your schedules, or it may be as simple as setting a reminder for a regular text or check-in with someone you'd like to stay more connected to. #connection#intergenerational
Goodivists are all about taking action, and we think bridging generational gaps is one of those things that needs ongoing effort. There's much to be learned from spending time together and forging deeper, more meaningful connections across age boundaries.
What's a connection intention? A connection intention is a scheduled connection reminder that nudges you to reach out and be in connection with regular occurrence.
