This tho… 🙌🏼
It’s a vague phrase for a vague kind of life.
People deserve more than being passengers in someone else’s schedule. They deserve mornings that begin with choices, days that have meaning, and evenings where they can say what they did. Not just that they were “out.”
"Out and about" sounds harmless, but it tells a story of how low our expectations can be. Let’s raise them.
Let’s help people build lives filled with friendship, belonging, and real connection. Not just outings.
That’s what the Open Future Learning module Building Friendships and Community is all about. In it, Kay Mills and a group of inspiring voices including Dave Hingsburger, Lynda Kahn, Patti Scott, and others show us how to move beyond busy schedules and toward relationships that matter. This module helps us understand not only why friendship and community are vital, but how to make them happen and keep them alive.
Because being “out and about” isn’t enough.
Being known, missed, and loved - that’s the goal.
