Ready to be Inspired? Check Out Ode
According to its website, Ode Magazine and online community is for intelligent optimists. The magazine and online community features inspiring stories of people making a difference in the world.
You can experience the current issue of the magazine online. I say experience because some articles include compelling videos, such as the video below which features Krishnammal Jagannathan speaking about India’s complex caste system, and what it’s like to be labeled an “untouchable.”
Lastly, as you may know, I’m drawn toward anything involving pie. So, naturally, I was drawn toward an article in the current issue entitled, “Mission Pie teaches city youth about food.”
Karen Heisler, co-founder of Pie Ranch (yes, Pie Ranch!) and Mission Pie, said something I’ve been saying for years: “Pie is a great vehicle to work with.”
(Thank you, “Downtown” Scotty Brown, for introducing me to Ode.)

I love pie too! My favorite pie experience is Grandma’s homemade chocolate pecan pie at the beach.

SKE! So, so, so great to hear from you.
I loved your comment — sorry it took me a year to reply. Sounds like an incredible PIE experience. Go, Grandma!
I send a big hug,
Andy

Proficient, thanks for sharing this information. Looks great on my iPhone, but on the Blackberry Pearl’s browser your site comes out a little irregular.
