Welcome!
My name is Lori Gosselin and I’m glad you’re here! Life, for instance is a gathering place where we come together to talk about life. I think of it as a porch where introspective people sit and relax and talk about the things that matter; the most important thing we all have in common, the thing we rush through so fast most days we forget to even think about it;
Life, for instance.
Many Hats
I’ve got a lot going on in my life. In 2011 I published my first book, The Happy Place. It’s available in all the Amazon stores. If you read it, I’d love it if you’d write a review!
Spending time here connecting with other bloggers in the Heyday of the Blogosphere when blog hopping was an all-day and evening activity, then taking the conversation offline to video meetings helped me to see what my friends have always recognized (seems I talk about community a lot) – I am a community builder.
In February of 2017, I published my second book, Sounding the Drum: Community Building in the Digital Age.
Now, after going back to school to get a Master of Organizational Management degree, I’m starting a company to grow communities everywhere. It’s called Kalliergo Community Building Corporation.
I invite you to make a mug of tea or coffee and hop up on the porch to enjoy some good conversation and to learn a lot more about community building!
