Rich Harwood talks a good deal about hope as a building block for communities. In fact,he has The Harwood Institute's Public Innovators' Laboratory in Detroit this week focusing on ways to build communities. Detroit, where the city's number one corporate citizen, declared bankruptcy on Monday. For The Harwood Institute, taking the Innovator Laboratory to a city on the brink is certainly taking lab work to the real world.
Rich Harwood was in Hartsville, and he evens mentions Hartsville in his newest essay, Redeeming Hope. But the reason for posting these thoughts on Harwood and Hope is Hartsville. You see in this blog continued talk about the Selling Hartsville initiative. I hope if you go to some of the links from this posting, you will quickly notice that the Selling Hartsville initiative is not an exercise taking place in a vaccuum. It is an effort to help those of us who live in this community sell hope to each other that our great place to live will become an even better place to live tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.
Harwood talks about authentic HOPE and it is good to open conversation on what it means to have authentic HOPE for Hartsville and what proof we might have that our hope has turned into actions that have created results fulfilling our hopes, dreams and visions.
