The fabulous blur of Florida Fall....

This autumn has flickered by so quickly. It seems we went straight from Hurricane prep and aftermath to the rapid swing of the holiday season. Dia de los Muertos, Garifuna Settlement Day and now the true start of the spending spree... Thanks Giving.

Ironic as we enter this time where philanthropy is king, tax reform bills threaten all the tiny things that add up to the level of poverty with which we are running our businesses, organizations and families. Just in time for #GivingTuesday. It is searingly obvious that integrity, grit and honor have far different definitions throughout our great experiment in democracy.


Let us recall that two hundred years ago, the great tourism destination we now know as Florida was just a mark and label on the map of New Spain.... a territory stretching from the Dry Tortugas to Cabo de Bacalao and from El Rio Nuevo to the edge of the land of the Chichimeca. I am excited about the newly acquired #Mesoamerican map now available via the Library of Congress.
The question before us still remains... what map shall we draw in anticipation of how our migrations will look two hundred years into the future...
