The freedom to dream

With more than 1.5 million nonprofit organizations in America, it's understandable that we expend a lot of energy worrying about competitors, obstacles and limited resources.

On this special day, let's view it through a different lens. Let's allow some sparkle in, and recognize the brilliance of what this multitude of organizations stands for.

... for the freedom to care about the things that matter most to us, be it animals or children, trees or opera, justice or peace, or any number of important things...

... and for the freedom to dream up a myriad of extraordinary places -- like libraries and concert halls and zoos and museums and nature preserves and schools and medical clinics...

... places that support people, build community, inspire ideas and foster imagination.

How fortunate we are -- that in the profession we've chosen -- we're the one's who get to invite people along on this journey every single day -- to make all of our dreams bigger, better and even more meaningful. 

Happy Independence Day!
