I'm an ABCD practitioner, storyteller / roving illustrator and coach / consultant based in Indianapolis, IN. I was drawn to community and knowing peoples' gifts from a very young age, but found the words that matched my passion in college in 2005 when my favorite Sociology professor handed me the "big green book" (McKnight & Kretzmann's original ABCD book.) I practice ABCD in my own neighborhood and most recently have been leading a national project coaching capturing learnings from museums and libraries who are engaging with their communities using an ABCD framework. I have a wonderful 3 year old daughter and also enjoy exploring how ABCD helps parents, children and families thrive through my own experiments in cultivating neighborly mutuality in my own life.

Friends -

I know you and those in your community are doing brilliant, kind, creative things right now -- even the seemingly smallest things -- to respond to the current pandemic using the strengths and capacities within community.

I've been asked by my friend Cormac Russell to help spread the news about a wonderful story sharing platform and I want to invite you to add to it with YOUR story of what you and those you know have been up to.

You can read the full invitation here.

And see the platform itself right here.

I look forward to seeing your stories!
