Hello!

For those of you who have been following this blog, thanks for your patience and for returning.  Now that the book Simple Community is getting broader distribution we will start seeing new visitors from those who read the book as well.

This is a relaunch of the website with one huge difference. You, the readers, can now participate more easily.  And the reason for the website and the blog, primarily, was to serve as a place for people to tell stories about community gathering that they think others will try doing with their own family and friends. Because stories are the proof of life, they are going to be the heart of the blog as well.  If you have a story, enter it as a comment to any post.  I will pick stories and make them posts so others can comment on them as well.

You will also notice there are "tags" to the posts that allow you to focus on specific topics. Shortly there will be as many as 20 tags. Each post will only have one tag, but may actually touch on several areas.

Over the next few weeks I will catch you up on a lot of great developments in simple community and I will do all I can to engage you in the conversation.

Thanks for being here.
