There are many definitions for neighbourhoods. There is the geographic proximity of people who reside close to your dwelling. Last night at our neighbourhood association meeting we had the speaker, Stan Chung, come in to remind us about the strength that a social network can have.

So neighbourhoods can be supportive, can offer inspiration and can be a place where the spirit can bloom. I am indeed lucky in the neighbourhoods that I “inhabit.”
