May 16, 2025 Chautauqua

Beth's Ponderings

   No matter where you are in your views on the state of our world right now, we ALL need to work TOGETHER to create more positivity in our communities, and circles of influence.

   Now, more than ever, it’s important to treat those around us with whom we interact with kindness, and bring more hope into the world.

   One of the ways that I personally am bringing more cheer to those around me is through The Chautauqua.  Not only do I believe in promoting our rural communities, I also believe it’s important for us to have an occasional respite (sanity break) from everything that is going on “out there” that discourages, and tries to defeat, us.

   While I don’t pretend that what I do is going to change the world, I do sincerely hope that it brightens YOUR world a little bit by reading it.

   That is why I want to encourage as many readers as possible to please donate a minimum of $23 in honour of the 23 years I’ve been in publication.  That works out to less than a $1/issue for the year. Receipts available on request.

   It is only by working together that we create improvement.

Beth
