And The Good News Is...

In May of 2009, my daughter and I were attending the Call-of-the-Times Global Dialogue facilitated by Peter Senge at the Global Retreat Center in Oxford, England. This was a group of diverse leaders that came together from different countries and different sectors around the world. We explored the critical issues facing our world; shared our stories and learned from one another. Rodrigo Baggio’s story about The Center for Digital Inclusion caught my interest because I believe digital inclusion is not only a powerful vision, it is a matter of social justice. I asked Rodrigo and his colleague, Florencia Estrade if we could meet so I could learn more about the CDI story. That day over lunch, I was pulled into this beautiful story about thousands of people who were transforming their lives and lifting their communities through their partnership with CDI. I was not only fascinated by the CDI story, Rodrigo’s passion stirred my spirit. The more he talked the more I realized I had met anot

And the Good News Is, The World is Changing, As We Know It!  In 1998 I wrote a book called DreamMakers: Putting Vision & Values To Work. It is about courageous people who had a dream and made their dream come true against tremendous obstacles. In 1998, I could not have imagined the world we live in today. Then in 2010 I published a book in Brazil, DreamMakers: Agentes de Transformação (Agents of Transformation) and in one short year, the world took a huge leap into the future. I started to write another book but the world is changing so fast that by the time it is published the world will be new again. And The Good News Is , In our era of chaos and confusion I see millions of people around the world becoming DreamMakers; transforming their lives, organizations and their communities. In spite of what we see and read in the media and experience in our lives, I see and hear remarkable stories of change and transformation everywhere I go – and I go a lot of places. I believe now
