Building our Village

The KTL family is lucky enough to have a standing dinner date, every Thursday night, up the road with our dear friends.  I am really loving having community so close by, after years of feeling quite lonely and isolated despite living in the city.

Do you live somewhere with a nurturing Village of like-minded family and friends?

While personal circumstances vary and so many of us experience social isolation, I truly believe that every ounce of effort that we put into building our community is returned tenfold.

As we see with the awesome nation wide (world wide even!) response to disasters like the floods throughout the east of Australia, and support and love sent to those suffering through Cyclone Yasi in the north east of Queensland, physical proximity to our village is not the be all and end all. You will see I am creating links to my 'Virtual Village' on the right hand side of the blog, please feel free to comment on this post with suggestions for other blogs and websites to add (your own pages or those that you follow).
