I just wasn't happy with todays piece. I know what I wanted to say and when I read what I'd written, it didn't convey my thoughts appropriately. Too many questions? Not enough personal experience? Maybe both.
The topic of community is the direction I wanted to go. It's grown in both awareness and importance with me as I've spent time in McCall, Bend and in my hometown. We hear of the word in such comments as, "community events" or "getting together to help out our community" but often it refers to the place we live.
Community is that group of people that surrounds us everyday, whether we think of it that way or not. It's those that we allow, maybe unknowingly, to have an effect on our lives through day to day events.
I was drawn to the Craft Beer Industry as a whole due to this very topic. I enjoy the sense of openness, sharing, collaboration, warm-welcome and candor that comes in this industry. There is certainly a desire to make money and to support one's family, however, each knows that as a community working together, the industry as a whole is better. That is what makes everyone in this industry successful.
Who is your community?
Cheers
