This one goes out to Jody… you know who you are.
The documentary “Join or Die” (a reference to Benjamin Franklin’s political cartoon featuring a severed snake representing the disunited American colonies) is about why you should join a club.
And why the fate of America depends on it. It’s a very interesting documentary.
One of my favorite clubs is toastmasters.
Toastmasters club is a local, supportive group where members gather to practice and improve their public speaking, communication, and leadership skills.
They help build confidence, relationships, and in turn build better communities.
While I joined Toastmasters to improve my speaking skills, one of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that real growth occurs when we are not only concerned about just ourselves but that we’re concerned about the health, good, and growth the club and others.
And that is not only the secret sauce of a healthy club, but also a healthy community.
And that can move mountains.
Aromatic blessings,
Tricia
