Last night I watched Bill Maher’s show. Other than the ‘out there’ HBO license for language I find his take on things incisive and he brings a necessary attention to much we might otherwise be complacent about. One of the panelists quite succinctly said that until we get over our addiction to oil and gas the drilling and risk will go on. Another panelist opined that the answer to our energy concerns was not going to be found down any hole – but by looking up to the sun and the wind.

From the perspective of holism, what we do for ourselves we do for all. We cannot point any fingers or place blame until we look to ourselves to see how we support the very activity we love to hate.

Here is a great article that I received today. Timely message. Check it out!

I won’t have a backyard in my new home – but I will be in walking distance to most all that I need. I’m looking forward to that.

It is the many small acts that each of us can do with ease and simplicity – once we are conscious – that add up to a solution.  Can you or I stop the leak?  No, but we can curb the demand by reducing the use of fossil fuels and force change by demanding alternative energy sources.  Think about what you can do today.

Cheers!

The Intrinsic Nature of Business

What do free range chickens, Jack Russell terriers and the colour beige have to do with the intrinsic nature of business? Well, this: Every aspect and particle of the universe – animal, mineral,or vegetable – even man made – has a nature of its own – characteristics of behaviour.

This morning, pre-coffee, my Sweetheart and I were talking about the move to the new house. We got kidding about how the stand-alone screened room would make an excellent chicken coop and we could create our fortune breeding free range chicks. I told S that we used to have free range chickens – Rhode Island Reds – the whole wheat of chickens, if you will, on our farm when we first moved to King City. The problem with free range is that weasels are also free range and it is their nature to ‘ferret’ out chickens and tear their little throats out. Read more…

Yesterday afternoon I dashed into town to meet a friend for a quick cup of tea and a long overdue catch up on professional, social and personal pursuits. We had met a year and a half ago on an internet marketing course and again at a weekend public speaking seminar.

Our conversation roamed around ‘B’s’ wife’s recent visit to Africa for the UN, my new business venture, and our mutual love of all things internet – marketing, code, blogging, platforms, branding. Enveloping all that commonality and friendship is a deeper trust and respect for one another and our conscious choice to live a holistic life in all we do – business, social, and personal.

Like so many of us who choose to live more closely with our consciousness, B has had many morphs: as a computer programmer, a real estate agent, an insurance consultant, and finally, combining life experience with a Read more…
