Over the last 18 months, our social lives have been impacted. We have likely made new connections but have lost connection to some of the most important people in our lives. We have been forced to grieve and manage this ever-changing life in ways that we (for the most part) were NOT ready for.My guest today is Michelle Wolfe, and she is one of those charming, inspiring, high vibrational women who just makes you feel good about yourself. And so as soon as we became friends, I wanted to share her light with you all.Michelle is all about building community, sharing struggles and working together to help you MUVE forward.Her own personal struggles, her trauma, her grief have all lead her down a very dark road that had difficult and challenging impacts on her life. However, she was on a mission to do \"the work\" and knew deep down that life was bigger than the way she was experiencing it. The foundation of her healing journey (and adapting to her ever-changing life) is to keep moving forward. Making one decision at a time, one move at a time, one step at a time. The idea is that we don't get stuck in the past or project ourselves into the future... We stay present and keep moving forward in this moment. Time moves, and thus, so must we.So Michelle created something called The Muve Collective, which is an online space for women to share their stories, learn from others, connect with each other and be inspired by stories of overcoming struggle. How cool is that?Health and Wellness is her passion, a self-care advocate, a motivator and beautiful thought leader and today's episode is a fun, inspiring and genuine chat about life, our struggles and what is all means. I think it's Michelle's goal in life to come together as strangers and leave as friends... so let's get into this episode so you can fall in love with her just like I did.Listen to the episode and find out more about Michelle at:http://www.themichellewolfe.com/ (www.themichellewolfe.com)Or on Instagram at: http://www.instagram.com/themichellewolfe (www.instagram.com/themichellewolfe)

What do you think of when I say, \"Military Sisterhood\"? That was the question Kristin Goodrich posed to about 50 women at the beginning of a weekend retreat last March at OCF's White Sulphur Springs Conference Center. One West Point cadet's response stood out amid the varied responses, \"Sisterhood? What sisterhood?\" Today you're going to hear from Kristin, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate who is now the Executive Officer for Planting Roots, a ministry for Christian military women. She will talk about the importance of building community among women within OCF, the importance of friendships, and will zero in on a couple points of author Peter Scazzero's list of the \"Top 10 Symptoms of Emotionally Unhealthy Spirituality.\" You can also read more from Scazzero in his book \"Emotionally Healthy Spirituality.\" A second Leading Women Retreat is scheduled in 2020 from March 26-29 at White Sulphur Springs Conference Center in Pennsylvania. So mark your calendars now. Check out the OCF and White Sulphur Springs websites for more information about the retreat. Those sites will be updated as details and registration become available. You can also join the Leading Women private Facebook group by clicking here (or by sending an email to Kristin if you have trouble accessing the group). // WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT Introducing Kristin Goodrich, her involvement in USNA OCF and later OCF Council, and her calling to military women ministry. What was the purpose behind the Leading Women Retreat at WSS? More about the question \"What do you think of when I say Military Sisterhood?\" and why you asked it. What sorts of answers did you get, and what did those answers tell you? How did others respond, and then how did you follow up to continue that discussion? You said friendship in an art, not a science. How so? What is a key takeaway for listeners regarding friendship? Peter Scazzero's \"Top 10 Symptoms of Emotionally Unhealthy Spirituality.\" Kristin talks about two of the ten points: Dying to the wrong things, and doing for God rather than being with God. \"We have become human 'doings' rather than human 'beings.' We work for God rather than with God.\" How does emotionally unhealthy spiritually tie back into military sisterhood? What kind of questions were generated by going through that Top 10 list? Kristin talks about the military community largely being Type-A, mathematical, with strategic mindsets leaning towards a \"science mindset.\" But the art of friendship is subjective on how to make it happen. Any books you recommend? One book used during the retreat last year: John Ortberg book \"Soul Keeping.\" Kristin recommends \"Free to Be Brave: Moments with God for Military Life\" and \"Flourish Wherever the Military Sends You\" for those wanting resources that point women to Christ so they thrive in military life. More information can be found at the Planting Roots website. You can hear from Planting Roots Director Kori Yates in Episode 25, when she appeared as a guest on Crosspoint. What's the takeaway for listeners from our conversation? Kristin's final thought: That Christian military women accept the challenge to develop a healthy sisterhood, to view each other as a sisterhood-encouraging, exhorting each other, telling the family stories where we can poke at each other, and yet we are all for each other.

In this edition of Building Our Community we are honoring the stories of Latinos in our community and the dedication they bring to make Lynchburg a vibrant city. Building community is no small task, and community intentionally built on equality can be even more challenging given the challenges our schools, students and families face every day. We're taking time to listen to Ruth Dueñez-Harrison with Church of the Covenant and Interfaith Outreach as she shares what community means to her. Questions we asked Ruth: - What are some of the ways that Lynchburg feels like home to you? - How do you build community in Lynchburg? - What can Lynchburg residents do to support each other to build a stronger community? We hope you enjoy listening to her responses.

This zine is an excellent introduction to fighting state repression. It covers the basics of what repression is, what happens when you are arrested, what to expect if you have to serve time, etc. Throughout the zine the author(s) repeatedly emphasize that fighting repression isn’t a solitary act and that it is something that is best done as a community (however we chose to define it). This is zine is definitely worth reading if you are new to experiencing state repression and is also a great resource for sharing with folks who may be newer.

Foundations of Amateur Radio A week or so ago I watched a movie that was simultaneously the funniest and saddest movie I'd seen in a while. "Pecking Order". It follows members of the Christchurch Poultry, Bantam and Pigeon Club in the lead up to the New Zealand National Championships, as they battle history and each other in a quest for glory and for the love of their birds. Think "Best in Show" with Chickens. While watching, all I could see was squabbling radio amateurs. We're having a similar situation in the Wireless Institute of Australia. There is evidence of gross financial mismanagement, claims and counter claims, Directors with an axe to grind, lawsuits and feathers in the mail. I understand that the Radio Society of Great Britain went through similar disruption several years ago. The ARRL is also going through upheaval right now. Rules, conduct unbecoming, expulsions and gag-orders abound. All these experiences deal with how a board conducts itself, how individual members react and how the main membership just wants to get on with things. Today I read an article in CQ Magazine, titled "We Have Met the Enemy ... and He Is Us". It leads me to wonder, what is it about being on a board that causes you to become entitled? What is it about being a radio amateur that makes you feel entitled to belittle and ignore those around you? What is it about our community that is toxic and detrimental to its survival? No doubt as I become older and perhaps wiser I'll get personal insight into these attributes when some young turk comes along and puts me firmly in my place, but for now, I'm the young turk, and you can keep your quinquagenarian jokes to yourself. I've heard it said that if an organisation is eating itself, let it die. There is something to be said for that sentiment. It causes new structures to be formed, new processes to be created, new ideas to propagate and new people to participate. The thing is, doing this also kills off history, it kills off a knowledge base, it destroys lives, it makes for loss of productivity, loss of investment and it is just plain bad for business. When I was growing up I was told of an organisation that would split its territory in half and form two new organisations once it hit 20 or so employees. Each new organisation would carry on, splitting in half as it grew. The idea was that if you had more people than that inside a company it became unwieldy. I don't know what's become of that organisation, what it's called, or even if it even still exists. I'm using it as an example of new thinking, a new way of trying to build an organisation, a new approach. What kinds of new approaches could we come up with for our representative bodies in amateur radio? For that matter, what new approaches could we imagine for ourselves and our community? There is a very powerful quote by Margaret Mead: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, organised citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
