Season of Change There is no doubt that the last couple of months have seen changes that have put a lot of things into question. Whether it’s our reaction to the intense amount of snow and ice or major happenings south of the border, we can’t help but reflect on our own everyday behaviours and how they contribute to what is immediately around us. One might say that it’s time to roll up our sleeves and shovel ourselves out of some big changes. We are lucky to be living in this little pocket of London that is truly unique and culturally divergent from the rest of the city. This prompts us to think about how we can lead by example locally when we know that it’s easy to get swept up by the drama of others who are far off. It’s important to remember that we are dealing with our own concerns that need us right here in Old East Village. These are issues that ask us to lead with compassion, empathy, and in a lot of cases, absolute patience. Giving something your attention is more valuable than ever before, and there are so many places that both capture and drain our attention. If, for example, you are thinking of buying more locally made products, the businesses in our area will greatly appreciate it. We can extend our attention even more to events and activities that have been here to support us all along. I think we can agree that we are all wondering what the future brings. These are the moments that define how we choose to live our lives and with what kind of purpose. How can we better support the needs and concerns of the folks that we engage within our area? How do we make choices that champion the efforts that link us together, so we can feel we are part of something important, worthwhile and connected. With that, we want to give big thanks to all of our readers for your time, your attention and your local support.
