Woohoo- fun weekend in Baltimore with my loooooooong-time, super awesome friend (and Maid of Honor!), Lauren. She just graduated from UMB with her Master’s in Social Work and I’m so very proud of her. We had a great time celebrating with her family and her boyfriend, Silas. Check out the slideshow!
GCRJ = Georgia Council for Restorative Justice
This is my GRA project, and to be honest, I hadn’t ever heard of Restorative Justice before meeting GCRJ’s director. But I quickly read up on it, and while I have a LOT more reading to do, I know for starters that I’m intrigued. I really like the concept, at least from my limited understanding. Everyone knows our legal system (and school system, and welfare, and health care, and and and…) needs some serious reform, and this seems to be like a very good step in the right direction. At least, in my kind of direction, which is putting a person’s best interests for healing and growth first, and working in a supportive manner to facilitate dialogue that leads to action that leads to positive change for everyone involved.
