Living the Questions with Parker J. Palmer

Living from the inside out...

My dear friend Marna Anderson introduced me to Parker Palmer and I am grateful. Parker’s Substack shares the wisdom he has gained from a lifetime of asking what it means to live from the inside out.

For the Love of Humanity

By Cecelia

Community for those who’d like to see philanthropy be less of the "industry" it has become and return to its roots: love of humanity.

Not only are our Substack’s similarly named, Cecelia is asking similar questions about how we support one another through philanthropy. While our topic is the same, our focus is slightly different: Cecelia has built an incredible community from within the fundraising profession, and I aim to bring that conversation to everyone else.

On Being with Krista Tippett

A monthly Saturday morning companion to all things On Being with Krista Tippett, with heads-up on new episodes, special offerings, event invitations, recommendations, and reflections from Krista all year round.

The host of one of my all-time favorite radio shows/podcasts, On Being, Krista Tippett’s The Pause brings the same curious, thoughtful spirit to monthly reflections and recommendations—a good read for anyone interested in Love for Humanity for the deeper questions beneath fundraising and philanthropy.

The 3 Cs of Belonging

By Lisa Kentgen

3 Cs of Belonging is a newsletter that explores the foundations of healthy relationships – care, connection, and community. It aims to change the narrative of separateness to one of belonging. We already belong; it's our natural state. Let's live like it.

Li Kentgen and I share the belief that belonging isn't something we have to earn, but something we're already part of. 3 Cs of Belonging is for anyone seeking more presence in their life.
