This month marks the five-year anniversary of The SUN News! I named it for our Gray Center “Social Understanding Network.” Every person receiving The SUN News is a valued member of this network of individuals working around the world to promote social understanding and effective social connections.
This weekly article has evolved over the years from a way to alert you to things happening at The Gray Center, to a collection of information, ideas, and suggestions that I believe will increase your understanding and help you to be more effective in your interactions with others. Sometimes you might learn something you didn’t know before. Sometimes you might find a new resource that will be helpful in your work. Sometimes you might see something in a different way than you have before. And sometimes you might simply be affirmed in your current understanding, and encouraged to keep working at whatever you are doing to positively impact your own life and the lives of others in your own community.
I am extremely honored that you are willing to let me connect with you each week. Your time is valuable, and I am committed to providing a resource which is worthy of your attention. Your emails of thanks and encouragement have often sustained me and inspired me through times of “writer’s block” and self-doubt. I’m always humbled to know when you’ve felt one of my articles deserved to be forwarded to someone else, or reprinted in another venue.
Now that five years have passed, it seems to be a good time to make some changes that better reflect the reasons you keep receiving, reading, and forwarding this resource. I’m excited to provide more information next week!
