Simple things
Who knows exactly where we’ll end up as a society, but our acts of kindness point us to a better place.
'Kindness is contagious'
Feeling the embrace of our community reminds us that even though these weeks have felt like months, it will keep getting better.
Points of progress
Local farmers markets are ingrained in the fabric of the Vermont community.
Viewing the changes
With Omni Reporter just over a month old, it's jaw-dropping to take stock of how much as happened in the past four weeks.
May I interrupt?
Nothing interrupts a Zoom meeting like a pet. In fact, a lot of times it’s not a problem.
The path ahead

A theme throughout this time of isolation has been appreciation of the simple things, which are heavily juxtaposed with the challenges we face, but nonetheless important.
Common action
As the country continues to tackle the ongoing health crisis, one word has been front and center for those efforts: coordination.

New York and Vermont are among them.
What governs us
It's fascinating that a time of such profound change in the world is also happening at a time of annual change for the earth.
