Life – and Surprises!

Life – and Surprises!

I’ve got something to share, something I’ve barely got time to share, but you deserve to know since you’ve been hanging out here on the LFI porch with me for so long.

I’m going back to school! In September, I enrolled in the Master of Organizational Mangement program here, in town, at Crandall University. (The Master of Organizational Management is like an MBA without the math). The story of how I got here is too long to share – long even for me – so I’ll save that for another time. But I need to tell you that, as I approach the 7th Blogaversary of LFI, I’m going to step back for a while. I will still post now and then but I’m not sure how often I’ll have the time.

As for community building, that’s not going anywhere anytime soon! Rest assured that there are over 90 posts about community here and you can access them through this link.

Also, I’ll do my best to be attentive to the FaceBook pages for community builders, Community Building with Lori and Sounding Our Drums Together. I’m happy to answer any community building questions posted there.

Two more things…1) I love the program and 2) my long story has everything to do with community building. More about that later.

Life sure can surprise us! Did you ever find yourself doing something you never imagined you’d do?

About The Author


I have always loved writing and community building. I’ve written a book about healing and happiness, The Happy Place, as well as a Community Building book, Sounding the Drum: Community Building in the Digital Age,both available at any Amazon store. I’ve been through life changes that I thought were the end of my world, but I’m still here. You never know what will happen next. Isn’t that what makes life interesting?
