An Invitation to the People of Santa Fe, NM

Dear Fellow Citizens of Lovely Santa Fe!

The actions we take today create the future of tomorrow.

This is an invitation to dialog about how we can create the future we all want to live in - a future in which all are respected, appreciated, and heard, a community in which we properly care for our resources of water and land and species, a community that helps express our own individual potential and that of our city and county.

Our primary goal of this project is to help improve face-to-face as well as online community here in the Santa Fe area. We need this to address crucial issues before us in the new millenium and to heal old wounds between cultures, so that we might all know we are equal and respected components of the community.

We are just getting started with this endeavor, and welcome all individuals and organizations with their ideas, visions, traditions, and plans. What can we each do to improve our community? what wisdom and knowledge can we provide that would benefit all? What skills or insights would benefit the land we live in? What ideas do you have to make this a better place?

Santa Feans have much wisdom, truth, and the honor and joy of living in a beautiful and supportive place. These are amazing things for which we are all grateful, and we can celebrate and share our good fortune by coming together to dialog as a community. It may be, too, that since these things are rare, that we have much to share with the world, and we welcome your thoughts and ideas on such things too. But let us come together in respect, calling on the corazón of this place, our families, and our friends, to create the heart and harmony of the community.

Please contact me by email: valerie@global-dialog.org if you want to participate in more tightly weaving the web of our community, with good intention and good will toward all. Or, if you wish me to contact you with news of meetings or other information, please put your name and email or phone number in the comment box below.

Best wishes for your well-being in these difficult times,

Valerie Gremillion

Dear Valerie-

I came across your site through a link from a friend. I am looking for a site that might be interested in publishing an essay I have written called The Waiting Room. Then I saw the link for Santa Feans - are you based there?

I am a former resident of Santa Fe, raised there, and for several years a reporter for The New Mexican. If you qould be interested in some content (a long essay available for free,) please contact me.
