Stuff

Get everything you wanted this Christmas? How about more time to spend with your friends and loved ones? Better relationships? More time for your hobbies?

Or did you just get more stuff?

Could it be time for a new take on the American Dream? How about a society where our values are honored and lived out: family, community, fairness, connected functional neighborhoods, environmental health and safety? This New Years I think we should be reflecting on what really matters to us and whether our daily choices are supporting our personal values. Or will you just turn on the TV again and turn off your freedom?
