    Welcome to the Art of Hosting community, Robb! Glad to see you among us. Please post a photo when you can so we can really "see" you here. Then join in with all the conversations. You'll find plenty of resources here, too, to help you deepen your practice. And the more you add to your profile, the more the community can learn from you and share with you. I look forward to exchanges with you!

    Let me doubly welcome you, Robb, having read your blog! You are among like-thinkers here. It's so beautiful to see the mushroom growing and people who care finding each other... What you wrote truly resonates for me. Welcome to a forum of meaningful conversations, I hope to connect with you in them.

    BTW, there are others in the Jersey area. I followed your initiative and put myself on the map ... but will have to have a word with the map administrator... You can only put yourself in ONE PLACE on the map ... and I have 2 "homes" (as many of us do today).  There are now 1960 members (you're the 1960th!) and many are not on the map. But it does give a nice idea of the growing mushroom...

    What is your idea of a "vibrant public space"? I love the concept!
