This is an exciting time at New Horizons. For most of the past month, we've been gearing up to roll out a pathway for ourselves that promises to enable us, optimally, to continue our local and regional Small “Zones of Peace” building efforts – and – yet allows us to, immediately, join with like-minded others in a global collaborative undertaking.
How inspiring is that?!!
Enter the Pro-Truth Pledge Movement. We are so glad we found you!
With our commitment to New Horizons Truth Or Dare GAME as our centerfold project, merging perfectly with its outgrowth, our still-on-the-drawing board Truth Or Dare Movement, now incorporating our involvement with the “original” Pro-Truth Pledge and our New Horizons “expanded” version of it, to round out our emerging blueprint, we are beginning, as May comes to its end, to see a shape forming from three main strands:
1. New Horizons Truth Or Dare GAME;
2. Our own Truth Or Dare Movement; and
3. Interweaving #1 and #2 with the Pro-Truth Pledge, “original” global movement with our “expanded” -- and more personal and local version, rising to the top as priorities.
These pieces, coming together and starting to flow forward, smoothly, are a rather challenging endeavor for us, in terms of doing it all with ease, especially in the short span of time we have been working with these three as interlocking elements.
For example, back in January we were already talking lots about our Truth Or Dare GAME.
That was a relatively easy undertaking for us to move with as our present Truth Or Dare GAME is a new incarnation of our earlier signature program, the Discount Derby, circa 1976!
Additionally, the vision we were in the process of developing, at that point, had no far-reaching goal beyond Capitol Hill.
Well, of course, even considering Capitol Hill as a destination is a bit grand!
Still it is, location-wise, in our neighborhood, more or less And home base, in an earlier era, for our Executive Director, Me, Anastasia.
Now, however, we are tapping into, through signing on with the Pro-Truth Pledge Movement, an opportunity to imagine taking even our very own Truth or Dare GAME worldwide.
Why not? If that's what we want, though I doubt that it is!
We are pretty much "Think global, act local" folks.
With all these happenings in motion, along with a few upsets along the way, the past few months, such as my March auto accident that totaled a rental car and a few minor injuries for me, we are rising to the occasion, nonetheless. And we want to keep you updated as much as we can.
The way we see our priorities unfolding, between now and our annual board meeting, scheduled for mid-July, as usual, is this….
New Horizons Truth Or Dare GAME – will continue on, as has become our practice, playing a short-version GAME, monthly, by phone, for now, with periodic support groups, also by phone.
We have been delightfully surprised how well this is working out.
Who would've thought it?
As we expand our newly, revitalized GAME, we will, again, be planning for weekend retreat programs.
How will we expand and incorporate both phone and face time participants? We don’t yet know. But we do trust we will make it happen.
Truth Or Dare GAME Objectives:
Refine and support truth-telling, truth-listening as leadership skills for New Horizons Board Members, as well as for new, invited players beyond our present board of six members.
Utilize our Truth Or Dare GAME playing to aid each participants decluttering of dark areas in themselves, their lives and relationships so that each is functioning at optimum levels, personally and professionally.
Develop and enhance our individual and collective GAME playing skills so as to be exceptional truth-telling, truth-listening role models.
New Horizons Truth Or Dare Movement Objectives
For the time being, our objectives here are intended to be limited to –
Conversing with anyone and everyone we can about the importance of truth-telling and truth-listening as an every day, personal practice;
Developing and presenting Truth Or Dare GAME training seminars.
The Pro-Truth Pledge, “original” and “expanded”
Doing our best to obtain the one-thousand signatures we have committed ourselves to for the Pro-Truth Pledge, “original” or “expanded.
Educating others on how the Pro-Truth Pledge can help each of us, as concerned citizens to better our selves, our families, our neighborhoods, our communities, our states and our nation.
Readers, this update is only the tip of the iceberg as to what is unfolding these days at New Horizons. So keep checking in here for updates.
