The Crazy Wisdom Community Journal A 25 Year Journey

2020 marks 25 years that The Crazy Wisdom Community Journal has been in print. What an exciting and celebratory journey! What started out as a thin black-and-white publication focusing on holistically-oriented events in the area has grown into a 120+ page full-color regional magazine with glossy covers, and a vibrant freelance staff of writers, photographers, editors, illustrators, page designers, distribution helpers, calendar proofers, and ad salespeople. 

Below are 29 of our 75 covers over these 25 years. The covers have reflected our commitment to highlighting the richest array of conscious living thinkers and doers in this region, and covering local topics with depth and integrity.

It’s no secret that it’s a challenging full-time job to raise our children to be capable, contributing adults, especially during a pandemic. Yet, we don’t want to miss that critical middle ground to develop our children’s life skills—the window between the delight of infants starting to walk and the anxiety of teens starting to drive. Since we all have much more time at home with our kids right now, it’s a good time to practice these practical skills. When my own kids started to launch into their adult lives, it was suddenly and starkly apparent that the base of any competency had started years ago.

In 2021, the Legacy Land Conservancy will be celebrating its 50th anniversary. The Conservancy is a nonprofit, the first certified land trust in Michigan and one of the first in the nation, was originally named the Washtenaw Land Trust (WLT) and was founded in 1971 by a number of people in Ann Arbor to protect the Bird Hills Nature Area and other land along the Huron River. Legacy has grown from that modest beginning to holding 82 conservation easements and seven nature preserves, protecting over 9,200 acres of land in Washtenaw and Jackson Counties.
