On Pithy-ness
I’ve become a fan of pithy, memorable sayings.
My husband always likes them, and is quite decent at creating them. So when he wanted to do the same to capture what our community is about, I didn’t have a problem with it.
While we’ve been in Amsterdam, we’ve been staying with our friend in her community, and I was explaining to someone here how our community got started. At the end, he asked the why question: “So why are you doing all of this?”
So I used our pithy saying: Know, Show, Grow. And it was great, really great. It was easy for me to remember, and I could elaborate on each word, which meant I ended up with a decent description of our purpose and vision.
