@AskDrAnti0nette Many have found that there is money in vitamins, and medicine, but there is no money in community.

Community is about nurturing genuine human connections, creating spaces where trust and care flourish, and encouraging people to see one another as neighbors, not customers.

@levin_phil Neighborhoods are where your life happens.

Choose carefully!

[Phil Levin @levin_phil]

You will spend 10000x more time in the 5 blocks surrounding your house than the cool neighborhood a 10-minute drive away.

Neighborhood >>> City.

What if it is equally true that it takes a child to raise up a village or neighborhood?

30 Rad Dads made it out to our first Rad Dad Meet-up. So many connections were made & so many gifts & commonalities discovered.

Dads were talking about the possibilities of kid friendly hikes, beach days, park days, kite days, field trips, brewery tours & so much more.

Flyers going out block by block in the El Dorado Park West neighborhood led by Jessica. Bringing moms together in all child stages! We are asking 3 questions:
•What do you want as a mom?
•What do you need as a mom?
•How might we do this mom thing together in mutuality? #ABCD

[We Love Long Beach @realWeLoveLB]

We are happy to announce our 2023 Mom Meet-up launch parties January 27-29th in 9 neighborhoods of Long Beach so far.

A connected neighborhood of moms are & have always been the backbone of neighborhood safety, health, trust & joy. Rachel is one of our Mom Connectors.

What do you do with a dirty, stinky alley?

If your a local artist named Cody Lusby, you use your gifts & talents to transform your alley into a beautiful community garden paradise, perfect for neighbor parties & a safe place for kids to play!

Sometimes, when we share our artistic gifts and talents with our neighbors even smelly ol’ alleys can become magical places for connection and joy! #ABCD #community
