Creating Your Community
Creating Your Community
Laura Ambler
Every day I read articles about increased loneliness, depression, and anxiety. How do you find your community-people you can identify with and develop as friends? That’s where Creating Community can help. In each podcast I’ll introduce you to fun and engaging people in my community of Longmont, CO and I’ll show you what I’ve learned about creating community every time I was the new kid on the block moving around the country. Every place I’ve lived has taught me how to find the fun and magic in creating community.

Rosa Parks and Peppermint Bark
What connects these two disparate things? Nothing except the date. Both are special in different ways. Candy will never be as important as a woman who changed the world, but candy can put a smile on your face.

Thanks for Feeling Good
This last week I realized I take my good health for granted. I’m thankful for kings that can fill with air and my cough being gone. I didn’t have Covid but I was sick. What do you take for granted that you want to be thankful for?
