This is THE work Melina, work that benefits everybody and everything. There is nothing more important than care - life giving, life saving, life enriching and life affirming.

Care is not a temporary and cost negotiated ‘quick fix’ to societies ills and pathologies but the underpinning of a healthy, happy and sustainable world.

Looking forward to reading more and contributing more to The Fifth Wave Institute.

I will be watching this space. I was a care taker for a while and see the need for reform, for more compassion and kindness so directly. More honesty about what is really needed, the human aspect of it all.

Glad to have you. The human aspect is indeed, paradoxically, both the most essential and the most quickly forgotten when it comes to how we build these systems.

I'm glad that sharing adrienne maree brown's quote was inspiring, Emergent Strategy is paradigm shifting! Looks like there's lots of great stuff coming up :)

Full disclosure, I still haven't read it ahah. Picking it up this weekend!! And yes thank you for sharing it on linkedin, it was the last touch of inspiration I needed to write this post :)

Much to look forward to then, it's the kind of book that can be slowly dipped into. I'm glad you were inspired!
