[tweetmeme] crazy grateful for the freedom to create my life and my body’s ability to grow and birth babies.
wishing the whole time we are talking that I could somehow get inside of your head and see the world, your life, this circumstance, our interaction – the exact same way you do – just for a moment.
in love with the textures, angles, essentials and earthy details of human relationship.

[tweetmeme] You’re already designing a life where you can express your beliefs and values in your work.
Try looking at your world more optimistically. Seek possibilities for improvement. Let yourself dream of ways to make it better. Be a designer of your world.
Ask Why? Ask the dumb questions. If the answers don’t work for you, opt out. ‘Should be’ and ’suppose to’ aren’t reasons to do anything.
Do it your way. There’s nothing you ‘have to’ accept. This is the new economy and it’s puzzle pieces are just starting to take shape. Get off the trail and see where it take the world.

[tweetmeme] Sometimes, as business owners, our fear gets the better of us. It’s inevitable.
Running a business is fucking hard. It’s especially brutal on the self-confidence.
We can’t acknowledge our progress. We want to feel more sure. We want someone to tell us our answers.
There are so many unknowns, and we are risking a lot. What if WE are wrong?
When I feel “the questions” weighing me down, I remind myself that my business is no different than my travels.

Everything.
Yourself.

[tweetmeme] That’s what lead you down my “rabbit hole”. You wondered about something that lead your curiosity to here. It’s so like you. Always asking questions and expanding your mind. Why can’t you just accept the norm, the conventional, the accepted? Why must you ask WHY?
It’s your thirst for learning, your curiosity at the world, that makes you just that little bit of weird. You want to grow, you work to grow and you do it by consistently exploring your Self and your world. You’re a Cultural Creative (or an Integral, as Ken Wilber coined) because of it.
To honour our need to explore, I’ve added a new page to the blog called ASK in replacement of the forum.

[tweetmeme] I’ve been talking about Innerpreneuring more and more lately… and it’s got me excited and it’s got me thinking. It’s helping me to focus on my purpose and ask a tough question — how can I best support our movement and the people behind it, AND realize my goals?
I’ve concluded that spreading the word, inspiring the people and supporting the businesses behind the movement, is my single-minded purpose. It’s the way that I know how to contribute best. It feels true to Me, and it prevents me from being something I am not. I’m not forum manager, or a community animator, or even a community lover. I add value to the world in different, but just as valuable, ways.

[tweetmeme] Our growth can be so slow that it can often go unnoticed. The beginning of a new year (and a new decade, no less) seems like a good time to reflect on and to celebrate all that we have achieved in the year that has passed.
I’m taking this opportunity to celebrate my successes with you. If you feel so inclined, please use the comments to share and celebrate your success of 2009 with me and the group.
With no further a due, my year in review.
