I just left one of the best and most important conversations in my lifetime. I have had all types of conversations. I have spoken with Dick Gregory and Cornel West. I have talked to my grandmother and mother about sharecropping in the south. I have had confrontational conversations. I have yelled, screamed, laughed and cried. But today, I have been transformed. 

Today, we had our weekly call for the Reimagining Our Work Initiative conveners. We checked in with each other, laughed heartily and focused ourselves, through a story about a little boy that made his friends laugh over and over through his intentional action of dropping a toy log from a toy moose’s head. As we moved into our agenda, we started with the recent updates on the ROW Initiative sign-up. One of our conveners, Pam, said, “We have 111 cohort members. That is exciting.”
