    logo_arizonacommunityfoundationSEDONASedona AZ (October 7, 2016) – The Arizona Community Foundation of Sedona and its Board of Advisors invited community members and leaders to celebrate the 16th Annual Spirit of Sedona honorees and 2016 grant recipients at an awards celebration on Thursday, September 29. The event provided an opportunity for community members to learn about the projects funded through the annual competitive grants process and hear the stories of the individuals recognized for their significant contributions to the community.

    “Honorees this year found ways to make an impact through volunteering, providing employment opportunities for local youth and sharing the profits of their business with the community,” said Tracey McConnell, Regional Philanthropic Advisor for the Arizona Community Foundation of Sedona. “It really shows that there’s no one way to be a philanthropist, but when you hear their stories, you see that they’re all guided by that same desire to make a difference.”

    The Politics of Pain

     

    The Politics of Pain

    If there’s one thing nearly every living organism on this planet shares, it is the ability to feel pain. The pain of hunger. Of loneliness. Of illness. The pain of broken bones and broken bodies, broken hearts and broken homes. The pain of poverty, depression, the death of someone we love—and, eventually, the anticipation of our own death. Pain, in all its shapes and shadows, is the one certainty life gives us all. No one escapes it.
