Congrats to our friend Rocket on his Ted Talk "Vermont: The Value of Hardship" for TEDx Hartland Hill's series, The Art of Living! What a refreshing take on the inherent BENEFITS of hardship: innovation, accountability, and cooperation - these are KEY qualities of Vermont living! Here at BRIC in Springfield, we're acutely and continuously aware of the myriad of challenges that rural life presents in the face of our community development efforts. If we're being honest, the list of obstacles and setbacks we encounter day to day often feels endless - like pushing a boulder up hill (both ways!) in the snow. Anyone boots on the ground doing this type of work knows it's not for the faint of heart, and in fact we often joke that you have to be a certain sort of glutton for punishment in order to ever actually make any progress. We know what we're doing is difficult, and that we're pushing against the odds with the things we're trying to accomplish - and somehow this awareness actually BOLSTERS our determination. The spirit of resilience and ingenuity is STRONG in Vermont. It's an inherent part of our identity. Whether it's snowstorms, early frosts, catastrophic flooding, workforce and housing shortages, food insecurity, busted leaking pipes - whatever the hurdle, Vermonters SHOW UP. We imagine possibilities, we work together, and we GET SHIT DONE. In spite of the challenges, there's nowhere we'd rather be! We believe in the power of our communities, we root for the underdog, and we WILL prevail. Thanks for the food for thought, Rocket! And for all that you're doing to help affect positive change here in Vermont!

Texas Communities Unite for Roof Repairs: Stories of Resilience and Solidarity Across Texas, from the bustling streets of Houston to the historic neighborhoods of San Antonio, communities are demonstrating incredible resilience and solidarity through collaborative roof repair projects. These initiatives not only restore homes but also reinforce the bonds between neighbors, showcasing the true spirit of Texas. In Houston, community efforts post-Hurricane Harvey have been nothing short of inspirational, with volunteers banding together to repair and rebuild. Dallas has seen a surge in local businesses and nonprofits collaborating through the Dallas Roofing Initiative to provide essential services to those in need. Meanwhile, Austin's commitment to sustainable living is highlighted by its push for eco-friendly roofing solutions, and San Antonio's dedication to preserving its rich cultural heritage is evident in its specialized restoration efforts.

🌷As we enter into Spring, we know that looking after our home's foundation often takes a backseat—but it's crucial for its longevity & safety. While luck may have a role to play, it's not something we can rely on. ☘️Foundation monitoring systems act as silent guardians, alerting us to potential problems early on, ensuring that we're not leaving anything to chance. 🚨They keep an eye on environmental changes & help us save money 💲by catching issues before they become major headaches. With these systems in place, we can ensure our homes remain cozy sanctuaries for years to come. 🏡 With Foundation King’s whole-home monitoring system, say goodbye to luck & hello to peace of mind! ✔️ #foundationking #foundationrepairkc #showusyourcracks #foundationmonitoring #foundationrepair #foundationkingkc #showusyourcracks

Understanding that here in Detroit this is the time period of the demolishing and demolition of the old in preparation for the last 7 to 5 years of the reconstruct of Detroit to be “dubbed” *New Detroit* which objective appears to be a Non-Black Majority Detroit, I would be remiss not to mention that I’m hip to the supposedly 30 year plan to achieve this nefarious goal. By My estimation & informed opinion WE should be in year 20, 21 or 22 of this “so called” 30 Year Plan.. #DCU #DetroitCitizensUnion “Established To Combat The Detroit City” 👇🏿 #BlackfaceBullshytPoliticalFigures ..Rhuben X
