#Changemaker Spotlight: #MichaelShaughnessy

A dedicated Friend of the #PresumpscotRiver

By Amy Paradysz, Winter 2025-26

Excerpt: "Shaughnessy, who became president of the Friends group in 2010, is inspired by the historical record of #ChiefPolin saying he 'belonged to' the Presumpscot River. Shaughnessy says, 'That has been a bellwether for us, conceptually, that we all belong to the river and the river could be cared for much better.' "

We've been taught to recognize power when it's loud. When it's marching out front, making demands, commanding the room. But some of the most consequential power in history never asked for the spotlight. It just showed up. Did the work. Moved things.

"What’s a state you’ve never been to?
Pick a rural place on the map, and call up the local #library or #NPR station there. Say, 'Hi, I’ve never been to where you’re at, and I might never get there, but I am curious to hear what the needs are in your community.’... I don’t know any easier way to bridge the horrible divides in our country.” —https://www.montereycountynow.com/people/face_to_face/how-a-couple-decided-to-donate-15-percent-of-everything-they-owned-and-what-it/article_c272c333-cc2f-4471-bef4-c88eec5c49dd.html

Two extraordinary Monterey County individuals — Dennis "Denny” LeVett
and Ted Walter — have recently passed. Among the many recognizing them for their positive impacts is Monterey County Now:

Chef Ted Walter https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/theodore-walter-obituary?id=59814700 "leaves a legacy of the great effect one man can have on the world.” https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/opinion_blog/chef-ted-walter-leaves-a-legacy-of-the-great-effect-one-man-can-have-on/article_244aff00-b038-4925-ba93-d6a35b9126d6.html

"Carmel hotelier and philanthropist Denny LeVett, 87, leaves behind a legacy of village spirit.” https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/news_blog/carmel-hotelier-and-philanthropist-denny-levett-87-leaves-behind-a-legacy-of-village-spirit/article_417afdda-3294-4b29-989a-7540cab2e10a.html

We also appreciate both Walter and LeVett’s leadership in supporting more people #bicycling by making their businesses (Walter’s Passionfish in Pacific Grove, and LeVett’s Cypress Inn and Terry’s at the Cypress Inn in Carmel-by-the-Sea) CHARTER PARTICIPANTS in Bicycling Monterey's HER Helmet Thursdays Project!

“Many needed changes did not occur when those who intellectually supported the change were missing in action when the hard work of change was needed.”

Right action emerges from right inner space, often with a sense of surprise. Like inspiration and flow, right action is not completely within your control. Nor is it found in your ego.

Right action is not merely cerebral, nor can it be forced through sheer will. It emerges from a delicate dance between surrender and collaboration. Between all that is within you, and all that is around you.

Are you welcoming this serendipitous alchemy in your life and work?

Aliveness, wholeness, and connectedness can feel unreachable right now in the turmoil of our world. How can you access such qualities in yourself right now, and ground your daily life in them?

There is no set formula, for every person's history and makeup is unique. There is, however, a simple way to start, and that is to ask, "What is holding me back?"

Meet the 2024-2026 #NDN #Changemakers

By Jordynn Paz • March 5, 2025

"In October, NDN Collective announced the recipients of the 2024/26 Changemaker Fellowship, a cohort of 21 #Indigenous leaders from throughout #TurtleIsland, Islands of #Hawaii, #Borikén / #PuertoRico, the U.S. territories of American #Samoa, #Guam, the Northern #Mariana Islands, and the U.S. #VirginIslands. These incredible fellows are transforming their communities, defending Indigenous lands and waters, developing solutions for #regenerative and #sustainable futures, and revitalizing #IndigenousLanguages, #governance, #ceremonies and ways of being.

"We are honored to support the important and necessary work of each of these changemakers through this two-year fellowship program. With the NDN Changemaker Fellowship, individuals will focus on education, skill building, networking, community building, theory of change mapping, and mentorship."
