Can we bring about change to better ourselves and our communities?

  “You” Turns started as a closed Facebook group, intended to serve as a forum for reflection and growth for a small group of friends and acquaintances.
From its humble, uncertain beginnings, the group has begun to branch out, engaging new participants and seeking answers to real issues in our communities. We’re hoping that the group’s discussions, discoveries and insights will eventually become a resource that all members can tap in their quest for solutions.
This blog is an effort to broaden that base. We’re hoping to seek input from individuals, organizations and communities throughout the world in an effort to address issues like blight, apathy, hopelessness, homelessness, stagnant economies, crime, and more. Many of us believe change has to start at the grassroots level and move up. We’re guessing there are a lot of other people who feel the same way.
These were some of the questions that the Facebook group members were asked in the initial post. What are your views about any or all of these queries?
Please feel free to join our discourse!
•  Where are we in our life’s journey compared to where we were one year ago? Five years ago? Ten years ago? Twenty?
•  What was important to us in our youth? How have we grown? Changed?
•  Are we more materialistic? Less? More spiritual? More environmentally aware?
•  As mature adults, are we searching for or reconnecting with those roots?
•  How would we like to change? What lessons have we learned?
•  If you could instruct others, what advice would you offer?
I’m hoping that people will want to share their journeys…
