The Community Book Project: 20/20 VisionThis is a "bigger book" in The Community Book Project series-one devoted to completing one decade and welcoming a new one. The vision: The idea was to bring together a number of writers to paint, with words, a picture of inspiration and vision for readers world-wide. It would include humorous and poignant stories of years' past, along with ideas for the future. The book would be buttoned up with essays of gratitude. The contributors would receive guidance and editorial feedback from a USA TODAY & WALL STREET JOURNAL bestselling and award-winning author, and then the essays would be collected in this volume. The contributors: We welcomed nearly 40 writers to this project. They came from all walks of life and from all around the world. It was such a joy and pleasure to get to know them, their writing styles and their stories. How it worked: After selecting a prompt, contributors were asked to write and submit "200 words-ish." The pieces were collected and reviewed by me, the editor. Some were good to go-and some were good to go with a few revisions. All contributors had an opportunity to stretch their "expression through writing" muscles and be a part of a greater community where they shared, laughed and inspired each other. This is the result-we do hope you enjoy it! Donna Kozik, creator and lead editor of The Community Book Project, is a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling and award-winning author.

The ability to see deeply affects how human beings perceive and interpret the world around them. For most people, eyesight is part of everyday communication, social activities, educational and professional pursuits, the care of others, and the maintenance of personal health, independence, and mobility. Functioning eyes and vision system can reduce an adult's risk of chronic health conditions, death, falls and injuries, social isolation, depression, and other psychological problems. In children, properly maintained eye and vision health contributes to a child's social development, academic achievement, and better health across the lifespan. The public generally recognizes its reliance on sight and fears its loss, but emphasis on eye and vision health, in general, has not been integrated into daily life to the same extent as other health promotion activities, such as teeth brushing; hand washing; physical and mental exercise; and various injury prevention behaviors. A larger population health approach is needed to engage a wide range of stakeholders in coordinated efforts that can sustain the scope of behavior change. The shaping of socioeconomic environments can eventually lead to new social norms that promote eye and vision health. Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative: Vision for Tomorrow proposes a new population-centered framework to guide action and coordination among various, and sometimes competing, stakeholders in pursuit of improved eye and vision health and health equity in the United States. Building on the momentum of previous public health efforts, this report also introduces a model for action that highlights different levels of prevention activities across a range of stakeholders and provides specific examples of how population health strategies can be translated into cohesive areas for action at federal, state, and local levels.

The Fearless Vision Project is a simple and practical way to ignite universal energy to fulfill your ambitions and life goals through the power of visioning. It begins with the creation of your Fearless Vision Project book. The Fearless Vision Project book, like the stars at night, will be a treasured, lifetime visual journal always guiding you towards your greater good. You can then meet with others to supercharge your visions. You can use this book in a mastermind group, a meetup group or create your own Fearless Vision Project group. Your Fearless Vision Project book is portable and private. But unlike a vision board in the privacy of your office or bedroom, the Fearless Vision Project when shared with others creates accountability. Its pretty hard to start backpedaling on your goals and dreams when your friend or group has already seen the bigger picture of you. The Fearless Vision Project will propel your life and your career to new heights.

Living Vision 7 spent two hours engaging with people in Farmington, New Mexico one evening, asking people to share their vision of the world--how does the world they want to live in look, how does it feel to live in that world? Again and again, we heard a yearning for acceptance and belonging, a deep desire for peace and safety, and vivid descriptions of a world of natural abundance. These stories and moments of connection were so powerful, Living Vision 7 expanded this project to extend over 35 days. By directly engaging with the communities where Living Vision 7 group members live, and beyond that to the world at large They asked 17,777 people about their visions of the world. These visions inspired the creation of four art installations in Southwest Colorado and northern New Mexico, as well as the compilation of this book. This book celebrate what's possible with portraits, illustrations, and the words of visionaries. By bringing to light the visions we carry in our hearts, we get to live our dreams.
