Right Now: Creating more clarity & mapping the way

For Divine Humanity, a start-up client launching a spiritually-focused enterprise and building community, we worked broad brush on short- and long-term goals, developed an action plan and making the process orderly.

Post-Its and mind maps are quick and easy ways to play, dream and transform before sharing with the world. getting thoughts out of our heads is surprisingly comforting and productive. Stickies, butcher paper and sharpies or mind mapping apps are excellent ways to record information, flush out ideas, and support, enhance and share creative problem solving.

Give and get

 

A seven-year-old boy and his dad came up with a great idea for making money.

David and little Nathan gathered a 5-gallon plastic bucket, aquarium pump, three bubblers, tubing and mature compost, from the compost pile. Then they started brewing and selling compost tea in plastic, reusable half-gallon bottles. The first year, they sold $500 worth of tea. Nathan deposited $300 in the bank and donated $200 to a local, charitable organization.

I bought 6 bottles of tea. See my thriving lemon tree above. Now I have twice as many lemons as last summer. Let’s find creative and purposeful ways to prosper and share the bounty.

 

Helping people with ingenuity & grit

Can we hear everyone's heartbeat over the roar of our own minds and life on the street? We can. And we must.

Look long and deep enough and you will discover our interconnection and interbeing with one another and with our planet. Making it everyone’s business to tread lighter and kinder.

Whether it’s building a business dedicated to promoting kindness as "Choose to Be Nice" does. Working miracles as Hugh Herr does, by making bionic prosthetics that help us run, climb and dance without limbs. Or, giving employees paid time off each year to support their favorite charities, as OSIsoft does.
