Welcome !

In these changing times, it’s vital that we turn our attention to building the world we want to live in. The Practical Newsletter is all about doing just that.

Right now we’re getting ready to launch The Ithaca Local Economy Lab podcast in February 2026 and offering the Practical Resource Guide to Health Care Without Insurance when you sign up with the form on this page.

Sign up to receive periodic updates from our newsletter and be the first to hear about new offerings and give aways!

I’m so excited about the podcast because it’s a conversation with local businesses, projects and people that are doing things a little bit differently as they work toward an economic reality that values connections, people, and wealth beyond mere profit.

Subscribing to The Practical Newsletter means you care about making the world into one that serves people over profits, community over corporations, friendships over fascism.

We're laying the groundwork for the Next Economy and we're doing it with joyful intention.

Our mission is to find real things we can all do to make the world we live in better. In the newsletter, you'll find actionable items and information on everything from Regenerative Economics, culture jamming and resisting, finding community and learning how to live in it again, to health, caregiving, finance, money and economic systems, and business.

This will be a conversation with an emphasis on sharing what works and what doesn't, and I think you'll find it interesting.

No one person has all the answers, but together we can find solutions.

I respect you, your privacy, and the integrity of our relationship. I will always protect and never sell or willingly give away access to any information you share with me. You have my word.

Thank you for joining me.
