Thank you, Suzanne, for posting my article to this list. I have been striving to bring together these two passions of mine -- journalism and engaging with emergence in social systems through practices like Open Space Technology. You broke through another aspect of my keeping separate identities that really aren't as separate as I treat them!
Artur and Christine -- delighted to know my work has been useful to you. FYI…I realize that I haven't been nearly as active as I want on this list. When all is said and done, it is still my home base. What I have learned through this community that has given me the courage to act knowing that I have the benefit of such wisdom whenever I am in need. with gratitude, Peggy __________________________________ Peggy Holman Journalism that Matters 15347 SE 49th Place Bellevue, WA 98006 425-746-6274 www.journalismthatmatters.org www.peggyholman.com Twitter: @peggyholman JTM Twitter: @JTMStream Enjoy the award winning Engaging Emergence: Turning Upheaval into Opportunity Read What do we need from journalism? http://www.journalismthatmatters.net/what_do_we_need_from_journalism On Sep 6, 2013, at 10:16 AM, christine koehler <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Artur, > > I did not mention it in a post, but directly to Suzanne as we are chatting > via Skype. > > My intention was to write somethig a bit later, when I will have finished > Peggy's book.
