Back to Blogs, Back to Reality

Hello, beautiful people! My name is Lolly and I hope you are having as fine a day as possible, considering, well, everything.

I'm diving back into the blogging format once again and I hope you will join me here!

The topics will be broad but generally aimed at making our lives, neighborhoods, and world a better place, in small and large ways.

Reimagine an Urban Paradise

I started writing my first blog (of dozens) one August evening wayyy back in 2009 when I lived in a big house with five friends in Washington, DC. Life was fabulous but we really needed a stop sign in our neighborhood so everyone could safely walk across the street to the Brookland Metro station.

I didn't even really know what a blog was when I started writing my first one 17 years ago at 2am. But since I was always thinking and talking and writing anyway about

• cities,

• public transportation,

• parks,

• bikes,

• gardens,

• trees,

• sharing resources, and

• the way we use public space,

... I decided it was time to put it out into the world in... whatever-a-blog-is.

I ended up writing nearly 200 posts on that first blog, "Reimagine an Urban Paradise," meeting a bunch of interesting people, and developing a new and intentional way of exploring and advocating for the cities where I lived.

And I used the blog to document the need for and my eventually-successful quest to get that stop sign in my neighborhood!

Return to Blogs

I do hope you'll come back and read once again like the old days of the internet!

Let's collaborate, share ideas, build communities, and make this entire world safe, accessible, and fabulous for every being on the planet!

(And if you'd like to rent my brain temporarily for your organization, tell me a bit about your project here.)
