| Hello New Dreamer,
It’s November, a time when many become consumed by consumption and busyness. New Dream is your community, your respite, a close friend welcoming you to join her for a cup of tea and conversation. Come on in. We’ve got lots of good news and great ideas.
This issue is full of inspiration and practical tips. We are excited to announce the launch of several new resources, as well as our new website design. These include a new download, Family Celebrations: A More Fun, Less Stuff Guide to Life’s Joyful Events, an innovative, new option on our alternative gift registry called the GiveList, as well as a collaborative holiday resource created with like-minded partners, 15 Tips for Commercial-Free, Fun-Filled Family Holidays.
Of course, all of this is possible because you are our community as well. We couldn’t do this without your support. If you want to live in a world where your values are infused into everyday actions, and where individuals are empowered to make change in their own lives and in their communities—and you want to make a gift that demonstrates these values—please consider making a donation to New Dream today.
Thank you for supporting our thriving community!
