		<description>This is exactly right. I am glad you are saying these things, because the time has come to define us apart from the rest of the online business world. I am in the process of starting an online business, and am looking for inspiration, not how-tos so much as &#039;why tos&#039;. This site is helping, because anything that is an inspiration is good.</description>

		<description>Hi Desiree,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Specifically for Cultural Creatives? No. There are many social networks that cater to us (e.g., sites for green living) but none that specifically state that they are for Cultural Creatives.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There are so many social networks that have been created in the last few years that it is almost impossible to keep track or know of them all. I´d be happy to list some that I think may be of value to you if you let me know what you hope to get out of the network.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for reading,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tara</description>

		<description>I would to agree with your statement that &quot;every human is creative&quot;.  But i cannot your thought about holistic and conscious thinking.  I think all of us are capable of being a holistic and conscious thinker, but one of them just predominant than the other.  I remember my professor once said about the &quot;thinker&quot; and the &quot;feeler&quot;.</description>

		<description>Hi Tara,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for all your valuable, inspiring, and engaging work. My view was that &#039;holistic thinking&#039; is more related and associated to rationality and reasoning, and might be read/interpreted by others as not related to feeling, empathy, the matters of the heart, soul, etc. Reading your blog I know that your definition is broader. Others, however, might interpret it more strictly, hence my suggestion. By all means, use it; I&#039;m not against it at all. Different combinations of words may appeal differently to various people, and many will like it... that&#039;s the beauty of language... &lt;br&gt;I&#039;d also use the word &#039;awareness&#039;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My best wishes,&lt;br&gt;Liviu</description>

		<description>Spiral Dynamics...oh, I&#039;m excited to research it! Thank you, Liviu. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And thank you for sharing your thoughts on the words that connect us. I have a small arguement towards &#039;holistic thinking&#039; as I think it does include empathy, EI and SI. To me, holistic thinking means taking into account all aspects of the situation before coming to a decision including empathizing with the parties/systems involved, and using spiritual and emotional intelligence to frame the situation correctly.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But I appreciate you sharing you thoughts and letting me know that &#039;holistic thinking&#039; is not a term that connects with you as strongly as conscious or simply just holistic does.</description>

		<description>Hilary,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you for your well thought out answers. It is nice to hear that  &lt;br&gt;the words holistic and conscious connect with you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I do agree with you that words are not really what is important,  &lt;br&gt;though, on the web, words do have heightened importance. If most CC&#039;s  &lt;br&gt;are looking to work with conscious businesses, those words should be  &lt;br&gt;used on our websites, marketing materials, etc. We do need words to  &lt;br&gt;describe the work we do, otherwise what distinguishes us? What makes  &lt;br&gt;me, for instance, any different from the average web consultant? I  &lt;br&gt;know upon working with me, you would realize but what about when one  &lt;br&gt;is looking to for a business to work with? If I know holistic web  &lt;br&gt;consulting, for example, is appealing to CC&#039;s, I will use that  &lt;br&gt;language on my site and attract more CC&#039;s than I would just writing  &lt;br&gt;web consulting.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I couldn&#039;t agree more with your thoughts on black and white thinking,  &lt;br&gt;winners and losers. Everything does have a purpose, there are no losers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for sharing your thoughts,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tara</description>
