"We Will Rebuild"

Our most powerful stories come from the field. With permission we share Josie Woodbridge's story. Josie and Josh, a former Asheville hotshot now working for Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, lost their home in Talent, OR, to the Almeda fire.

We send our condolences to all those affected by the devastating impacts of wildland fire. No one is immune from wildfire. May we all take a moment to reflect upon Josie's story and seek for understanding the resilience expressed in her words. 

Are You Repelling Your People?

Have you ever conducted the pepper and water science experiment? 

 

How to:

• Prepare a dish of soapy water.
• Prepare another dish of water with pepper sprinkled on top.
• Fully submerge your finger in the dish with soap water. 
• Dip your soap-covered finger into the dish of pepper water. 

Result: The pepper should repel away from your soapy finger.

IGNITE: Our Responsibility

It is our responsibility as leaders, positive difference-makers, and change agents to never stop learning, unlearning, and re-learning. ♦ George Raveling ♦
