A New Way of Doing Business

Social Enterprise...Community Support Agriculture...two topics getting alot of play these days.  With the gas prices the way they are & the cost of getting food from out of town costing more each day, people are turning to local suppliers for fresh vegetables and fruits.To harness the growing trend, and to provide for the less-than-fortunate of our community, I have decided to use a model that is currently being used at Growing Home in Chicago.

Being an avid gardener myself, an organic food fan, and always wanting to do something productive with my time on this earth and to be a part of the "greater good" I can see no better way to design my life than to mimic what the people at Growing Home are currently doing.  I already see that I will expand the program, tweak it to fit the lowcountry's way of living and thinking, but the bare bones are there & that saves me a whole lot of time!

I'm excited and intimidated at the same time.  Afraid I won't have what it takes, but thrilled to know deep ion my soul that I do and all of the Universe is behind me!  I used to be concerned about how everything was going to play out.  Recently I've learned not to be so concerned with how it happens, only to focus on that it IS going to happen!!

This is what I live for and I couldn't be happier with my choices:)

Permission?

Where, precisely, do you go in order to get permission to make a dent in the universe? Seth Godin blogs about this very thing today.  Seems to go right along with everything I've been studying on my Rebirth/Re-emergence from the ashes.

Since ending my relationship with an ex-offender, and believe me, they are a different breed, I've been on a seriously intense soul search into why I allowed such abuse to go on for four years. I loved this man, that is for certain, but there was so much more to it.


The soul search has taken me to relationship coaches on the internet.  I have found a couple who have given their services away for free...shared their knowledge and love with with willingly and freely.  I've needed that much more than they know.


Thru this discover process I've refined what I believe and what I don't, and more importantly, why I believe what I do.  I'm learning to better articulate this to myself and to others. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Jujumama, Concerto Vita (Leila Reyes), and others have shown me new ways of looking at the world.  I've also been learning how to actually implement the Law of Attraction. People may say it's new age or witchcraft or whatever they wish, but it's a fact..a LAW. 


The Christian Bible even speaks to it in talking about the power of words having life or death and how we are what we think about...as a man/woman thinks, so is he/she.  Rastafarian's talking about positivity (for instance) and so many of the worlds religions all saying exactly the same thing, there MUST be truth to it. So I am embracing it. My own mother taught me this without even knowing what she was teaching...Like Attracts Like!


What do I have to lose by following this path? Not my soul because it belongs to God anyway. And I have everything to gain! A longer, healthier, more loving life! Financial abundance so I have the resources I need to carry out the dreams of my heart, which I know were put there by God in the first place.  Why would he put such dreams in my head if they were never to come to fruition?

I'm A Virgin

I am a woman in her fifties and I am a virgin, of sorts.  I'm new to the blogging world, but not at all new to writing what I think about.  I've been keeping a diary/journal since I was a young girl.  back then it was filled with the silliness of youth...whom I saw, what we did, who we got high with... silly, silly things. The exploits of Jeanne & Cheryl.  Now I write about how I feel, what I dream of, and whatever else strikes my fancy.

This is an adventure into the world of the ex-offender, the men, women, & children starting their lives over after the hell of our criminal justice system.  I'm fed up!  I need to talk about it.  i need to DO something about it.

I'm not the kind of person who can sit idly by & watch the destruction of other people.  When I was a child, it was the Black community, then Mexican's when I was a teen, and now...it's anyone who doesn't have enough money to fight off "big brother".  This reminds me of a song by The Who...Tommy "We're Not Going To Taker It, Never Did & Never Will. See Me. Feel Me. Touch Me. Heal Me."

I am in the business of LOVE and Healing.  Not as a profession yet (at least not monetarily), but as a caring human being who has herself experienced the unfairness of our society and the oppression of religion.  I tend to ramble at times and go off on rabbit trails.  I think this will help me stay more focused on my objectives, which I will reveal a little at a time.
