We remember Maya Angelou this week. While, I have enjoyed her poetry and words of wisdom I was fascinated by her history - that made her life even more amazing to me. One resource shared this about her young life....
After reading about this tragic event in her young life, I look back to the quote above and am even more amazed at her accomplishments. Do you know young Maya's or elder Maya's in your work or personal life? How do you make space for their past as you walk along-side them as they create their future and they influence your future?
Dollar Work 2 at Leech Lake Tribal College
Tasha Shevlin and I were fortunate to observe Jennifer Garbow and Lori Hendrickson teach Dollar Works 2 train the trainer at the Leech Lake Tribal College. Discussions about resources - both financial and personal - were rich. Also the desire for the success - personal and financial - for the next generation. We have not spent a great deal of print in the curriculum about the motivations for change, the psychology of money management - these participant's insightful questions provided additional information as we consider our next version of this curriculum.New Opportunity- Family Resiliency Team Investments RFA
In the
budgeting process this year I proposed to Dr. Shirer that income dollars from
money earned by the Family Resiliency Team be re-invested in emerging issues
that would benefit from extension education. Here are the 3 issues where
dollars will be invested. See attachment to the email about this blog for RFA specifics. Deadlines are in the bottom right-hand yellow box.
RFA for Prevention and Understanding Financial
Exploitation of Seniors (up to 10,000)
RFA for Post-Secondary Debt (up to 10,000)
RFA for Extension Outreach Family Education for
Military Families (up to 10,000)
Hope you have a nice weekend.
