The idea that thinking good thoughts leads to good outcomes is a core concept in positive thinking and mental well-being. By focusing on positive thoughts, you can shift your mindset and increase your likelihood of experiencing positive emotions, fostering resilience, and potentially attracting positive experiences.

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

RN Tagore.

Listen to “Betsy Bober Polivy shares, In 2011, I had the crazy idea to walk the entire original Manhattan Grid…” on Spreaker.

In 2011, I had the crazy idea to walk the entire original Manhattan Grid – from 1st Street to 155th. It took six years traversing the streets from the East River to the Hudson as I was visiting each business, meeting the owners and listening to their stories. It was a marvelous adventure that is documented on my website sideways.nyc

Throughout the pandemic, I have continued to be a dedicated advocate for small businesses. In March last year, I made the decision to self-publish Walking Manhattan Sideways – Side Street Businesses That Have Stood the Test of Time gosideways.nyc.

The book showcases the quintessential businesses that have survived over the course of many decades. While some are beloved and well-known establishments that continue to garner recognition, the book also shines a light on the astounding number of places that perennially fly under the radar.

This has been a passion project that people have enjoyed simply flipping through to read stories that spark their interest, or to embrace it from cover to cover. There have been television interviews including NBC, several articles have been written about the book nypost.com and the book was featured in all of the NY taxis!

The flood of gratitude and appreciation for the first book inspired me to begin working on another this past spring. In addition to shining a light on many more scrumptious restaurants, splendid neighborhood bars and one-of-a-kind shops that have survived on the side streets for decades, The Art of Walking Manhattan Sideways features magnificent places of worship, fascinating not-for-profits, and the Arts – in all its forms – galleries, museums, music venues and schools, dance institutes and theaters.

And here is an article that was published this week. She did a terrific job conveying my mission – my passion.

I am writing to invite you and your choir to join Music Changes the World, a new initiative of the Foundation for Small Voices (FSV), and become involved in the power of many voices joining together to make a difference.

FSV is a not-for-profit organization committed to the idea that music can empower, change, and influence lives, especially for young people. For over 15 years, we have been responding to the call from voices all over the world, and today’s requests for help from choirs and programs in jeopardy are more numerous and urgent than ever.

We are inviting you and your choir, along with thousands of choirs worldwide, to join the beginning of our initiative, with each choir pledging just $100.

Our goal is to raise a minimum of $500,000, with 100% of these funds going directly toward providing music for youth on all continents. It is only through the power of each voice in our global choir community that we can make a change. Choirs who donate more than $100 will have an opportunity to contribute to a general fund that will help those choirs who would like to participate but are unable to make a financial contribution. We are so grateful for your participation by sending your donations to: The Foundation for Small Voices, P.O. Box 1880, Brookline, MA 02446.

Your choir members will have an opportunity to touch lives around the world, sharing the joy they feel in making music together, and to become part of a global network of choirs that care about and support both choral music and each other. We all do this work because we know that music can change a child’s life, and that the more children who are touched by music, the better the world will be.

We hope that you will join our voices to change the world through music.

With deepest gratitude,

Jim Papoulis and the Foundation for Small Voices
