Driving at Night – Sasha Dichter's Blog
https://sashadichter.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/driving-at-night
Sasha Dichter's Blog. Reflections on generosity, philanthropy and social change. I remember a conversation I had last year with one of Acumen’s East Africa Fellows. We were talking about the faith it takes to walk an unknown path. He shared that his father used to tell him, You can only see a little ways in front of you when you’re driving in a car on a road in the dark of night, but that allows you to see far enough to eventually find your way to town. How do we balance knowing and not knowing? Instead,...

You Know, for Kids: Old School: A Wizard of Earthsea
http://youknowforkidsblog.blogspot.com/2012/09/old-school-wizard-of-earthsea.html
You Know, for Kids. Great children's books, music, movies, and other stuff. September 19, 2012. Old School: A Wizard of Earthsea. As I grew older and out of children's chapter books, all those years ago, I kept only a handful of favorites on my bookshelf. I'm not sure I knew why, exactly, even back then—because I thought even as a high school student I might want to refer back to them? Or (deep down) because I wanted to hang on to them for my own kids someday? A Wrinkle in Time. The Book of the Dun Cow.

You Know, for Kids: New Music: Ozomatli Presents OzoKidz

You Know, for Kids. Great children's books, music, movies, and other stuff. September 21, 2012. New Music: Ozomatli Presents OzoKidz. I'll admit to having been spoiled a bit by They Might Be Giants. It was hard not to be, when a band of which I had already been a longtime fan chose the period when we had our first child to make a marvelous crossover into kids' music—and proceeded to put out. Others with no professional background in music for nonkid audiences at all ( Recess Monkey. Had moved into the ge...

You Know, for Kids: New Music: Grammaropolis
http://youknowforkidsblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/new-music-grammaropolis.html
You Know, for Kids. Great children's books, music, movies, and other stuff. October 3, 2012. Since I'm on a grammar kick of late. I should mention a second source of no-really-it's-fun learning on the subject that Dash has been obsessed with lately:. An album of songs about language and parts of speech. The CD came out earlier this year, but recently came to my attention on its reissue with a new iPad/iPhone app, which nicely complements the subscription-based learning Grammaropolis website. That is deli...

You Know, for Kids: New Books: Super Grammar
http://youknowforkidsblog.blogspot.com/2012/09/new-books-super-grammar.html
You Know, for Kids. Great children's books, music, movies, and other stuff. September 25, 2012. New Books: Super Grammar. Okay, before I start, full disclosure: I make my living largely as a copy editor. And I've occasionally been accused by certain close friends and family members of being a bit, shall we say, overzealous when it comes to enforcing proper grammar. (I will spare you my thoughts on gerunds here, however. You're grateful, trust me.). Still, I figured, leafing through the pages about superh...

Not-so-small talk – Sasha Dichter's Blog
https://sashadichter.wordpress.com/2012/09/13/not-so-small-talk
Sasha Dichter's Blog. Reflections on generosity, philanthropy and social change. It amazes me how much time we waste in our effort not to waste any time. Five, even ten minutes to understand who a person is, where they are today, now, at this momentthere’s no way that you can skip that step and hope to create any sort of real connection in a meeting. There’s wisdom in those old civilities of asking after someone’s well-being, their family. Click to email (Opens in new window). September 13, 2012. Having ...
