Behaven Kids’ Post

I put a lot of work into my garden early in the summer. Everything looked wonderful. Over the next month I noticed some little weeds popping up. I kept saying to myself I should take care of it, but I kept putting it off. Now, guess what? They are everywhere. I’ve been trying to clear them but it’s so much work. And it seems like they’re growing back overnight. Note to self: attend to problems as they arise, or they will spread. Then it will be infinitely harder to deal with them. That lesson applies just as well to attending to #inclusion in your organization. Someone makes an inappropriate joke; an interpersonal conflict is brewing; you’ve noticed a pattern of behavior that may be driven by bias. These are weeds. If you don’t address the issues in the moment, the offenders might feel the behavior is okay. Others might imitate it. “I guess this is what we do here.” The people affected might lose trust. “No one has my back. Why even say anything? It won’t make a difference.” Before long, you don’t just have incidents—you have a #culture. The roots will have gone deep. Weeds will have entangled with other plants. You can’t remove them without disrupting or even damaging the garden. Tend your organizational culture like a gardener. Pay attention to people’s well-being, and deal with issues before they become invasive species. Don’t wait until you have to dig deep and rip things up. https://wix.to/YMl1Tii

Human beings pride themselves on being social animals. But are we really living up to that title? We live in concrete houses, draped in clothes, and relentlessly exploit nature in the name of prosperity. Does this make us social animals, or is it just a term we use to appease our egos? What does it mean to be social? Shouldn't it involve empathy, equality, and love? If we can't live harmoniously with these values, are we any different from other animal species? Being truly social means more than just coexisting. It means caring for each other, protecting our environment, and fostering a community where everyone thrives with equal opportunities in every aspect of life. Let’s question our actions and redefine what it means to be a social being. Are we truly social, or just pretending? #SocialAnimals #Empathy #Equality #Love #Community #SelfReflection #ExploreInside #HumanNature #RedefineHumanity

How Pets Build Community GrowthPlay Bonnie Johnson Owning a pet can often become a common topic of conversation and serve as a catalyst for collaboration and a shared sense of responsibility. Even attending pet-friendly events, such as dog walks, pet parades, or outdoor gatherings, encourage people to come together. The opportunities are endless to connect over a shared love for animals. The love for pets can be a universal experience that even transcends cultural differences. This commonality can serve as a foundation for building connections & understanding even among the most diverse community members. People love to share stories, tips, and experiences related to their pets. This creates a natural and positive avenue for social interaction and contributes to the development of a strong and interconnected community. Question: Have you created new friendships because of your pet? https://1l.ink/GPVZTRP

📢 There is no excuse! 📢 April 15th is International Micro-Volunteering Day. "The idea of micro-volunteering is simple: individuals take convenient, bite-sized actions in support of a good cause and often perform their activities or service from home." Here are 3 things that I do (when I can): - Spend some time using Be My Eyes which connects blind or low-vision people with volunteers. 📲 - I try to pick up 3 pieces of litter every time I walk my dog (especially in the countryside). 🚮 - Sharing adoptable pet profiles online to help them find their forever homes. 🐶 Do you have any habits that makes a small difference? If you do, I'd love to hear about them!

Our logo Earnertainment Co-op is an e/elephant's head and trunk. Why the elephant? 🐘 Elephants are keystone species that help other animals in many ways, including: 1. Creating Pathways Elephants push over trees to create paths through dense forests, allowing other animals to pass through. 2. Creating Watering Holes Elephants dig up dry riverbeds to create waterholes for other animals to drink from. 3. Fertilizing Land Elephants spread nutrients around the landscape, which helps other animals thrive. So we believe that EarnerTainment Co-op is the big elephant that's creating a new pathway for all Creatives to earn money more effectively and efficiently for doing what they all love to do.

Many people will steer clear of a beehive because it makes them nervous or they don’t want to get stung, but I’ll always walk towards it. Beekeeping is one of my hobbies and passions, so I was excited to see this urban hive outside of our offices in Charlotte, NC.  The truth is that we simply wouldn't be able to survive without bees. But even more than that? As a beekeeper and leader, I’ve learned so much firsthand from these small but mighty insects.  For example, bees provide essential pollination to the planet. Similarly, workers across industries are essential to maintain a strong and sustainable economy and community. We all have our diverse strengths and collectively, they help to better the world we live in. Or did you know that as an individual contributor, one bee will produce 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in its entire lifetime? But as part of a team, a healthy hive can produce more than 50 lbs. of honey in one year. Today, this beehive reminds me that we’re more powerful when we all work together. And that’s why together, we can #MakeTheFutureWorkForEveryone. 

What a touching observation! This post beautifully captures the essence of the video's message. It highlights the profound connection between the fox and the dog, illustrating how friendship transcends societal boundaries and species differences. The insight into the fox's perspective adds depth to the narrative, emphasizing the universal need for companionship and support in our lives. Furthermore, the analogy drawn between the fox and dog's relationship and the importance of community-building in human society is both thought-provoking and heartwarming. Overall, this comment serves as a powerful reminder of the value of empathy, compassion, and acceptance in fostering genuine connections and nurturing thriving communities.

In the small town of Sisters, Oregon, Stitchin' Post quilt shop has spent nearly 50 years building a fun community around quilting. Every summer since 1975, founder Jean Wells has hosted a huge Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show that brings together quilters from across the country. But Stitchin' Post also connects quilters online all year long. They share quilting tips and patterns on their forums and social media for fans near and far. Fans share photos of projects and ask each other questions - new friendships form over a shared love of quilts. They work hard to create spaces where quilters can "stitch" together new bonds - both online and in the real world. Here's what they focus on: 1. Pick something people are excited about - for them, it's quilts! 2. Bring people together both virtually and at in-person meetups.   3. Encourage friends to chat, share ideas, and have fun. With some creativity, retailers can make their own communities centered around common hobbies, interests, or values. After all, people want to share experiences. Why not give them places for that?
