CHECK-IN

Greetings,

The time between postings has been filled with a great many inner workings, not least of which, those brought on by the need to slow down due to numerous battles with flu, colds and general overload. All the while, the Youand Labs have been ongoing and much has been learned by all involved about the nature of the Youand work.

The learning from these labs, too, has given me pause. I have needed to re-evaluate the form and content of this blog. And rather than explain it all, the changes will make themselves evident in their unfolding.

In a nutshell, the work has come into much clearer focus and the benefit to those involved has been immense. Such that, it has put a somewhat greater burden on me the creator of Youand to proceed with even more authenticity than I had previously anticipated. What I mean is that my intention has always been to create a blog that truly “is” a Youand experience, and these first few posting have been attempts at communicating the work. But, in truth, I am dissatisfied with this approach. And so, from now on things will be different.

We will all just have to see what happens in this quest to raise awareness about the great value that I see in “mutual understanding” between people; and the development of skills to enhance our capacity to create “mutual understanding” between ourselves and others.

Sincerely,
José Angel Santana, Ph.D.
