Community: Finding a Common Unity

I recently had a friend mention how upset it makes her that the word “friend” gets tossed around these days. Maybe it’s since the advent of Facebook, where we ‘friend’ people we barely know or have never even met. Perhaps the push of networking has confused the lines of friend, acquaintance and co-worker. Her words made me think: are there other words that we toss around without finding their deeper meaning? Yes, there are. Community is one of these words. 

According to the New Oxford American Dictionary community is (one definition): a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals. 

So often people long for a sense of community, but aren’t sure where to start. All you need is something you enjoy. Perhaps it is cycling, gardening, reading or even fitness. Whatever it is, let it help you find your community. All you need is to reach out, believe it or not there are others like you looking for the same exact thing. 

My hope is to create a sense of community: sharing a passion for life above all else.
