Restorative practices will solve a lot of issues on this planet. Until you can sit down with a person in a safe space you are only assuming you know why a person made a decision they did.

Restorative practices are how to create TRUE democracy. The indigenous people of the Americas were on to something with their practices. The key to understanding is suspension of judgement. This isn’t the easiest thing to do when your emotions are involved. Even more, when you add misinformation to the mix, a powder keg of confusion is created and confusion is the prerequisite to being taken advantage of.

One of my mentors used to tell me, “patience is a skill.” It’s a skill that you can work on daily by suspension of judgment. Practice that skill and save yourself time and energy which is needed to be considered alive.

It was an honor to share space with St. Charles Public Library an organization that values patrons, innovation, stewardship, and excellence! They welcomed their new leader Kate Buckson this past week are excited to continue serving the community. They were pretty excited to learn more about how restorative justice and restorative practices can create a supportive workplace and public serving culture. Salute to SCPL!!

Good morning. I hope that everyone is in the best of health and are safe as one can be. With the most recent public displays of harm. Now more than ever is an opportunity to reflect on how what you do contributes to harming others. When harm takes place there are victims, perpetrators, and bystanders. There are 3 simple questions to answer once you figure out who you were in the situation.
1. How can I fix this?
2. What can I do to make up for what I did?
3. How will I make things right?
