S is for Sarah Palin

She is a much better tour guide than politician. I found her endearing. Loved the scene where her mother-in-law teaches the kids how to clean salmon- the same way my pa taught me how to clean salmon a couple summer ago. Common ground, people. Would my response to her campaign have been different if I had seen the show before hand?

(Just can't start another blog challenge before finishing the first one!) :)

R is for Report Card

The question was: Do people from all racial & ethnic groups have equal access to services?

I'm facilitating a Race Relations Dialogue-to-Change Circle at work and this was our topic of discussion last week. To be honest, the session was mostly a lot of venting. But I do think we need to be realistic about where we are before we talk about how to make our city more equitable across racial lines. Looking forward to the "action" conversation this week.
