Inspiration from Within

There is going to be a need to find raw inspiration. To identify energy that fuels our drive and the ability to perform. Our economic indicators, consumer confidence-they are all irrelevant compared with the will of the masses and intelligent wisdom being applied by the few. In the past couple thousand years there, has never been so many compelling reasons to unite the cultures, the genders and the social classes. But it will take more than politics, war and re-structuring. It will take a global rising of social consciousness and our responsibility to one another. It will be upon individuals to make a decision to come together or stick with the old evolutionary tactic of the survival of the fittest.

Let me digress. I have been panicking my entire life. I have been wise to global warming (Make sure to stick around and find out why global "warming" won't be so warm after all!) since the age of seven or eight. I remember clearly the careful research-sans Google- that I put into my elementary school presentation. CFC's and the dangers of causing holes in the ozone. Twenty plus years later, I am just now starting to hear about the apparent problems from my peers- and I'd guess that nine and a half out of every ten don't know what CFC's are. As a debater in High School, I studied foreign policy with China and Juvenile crime. Toss up which one of those topics made me lose more sleep, but eleven years later, we are just starting to see the repercussions of our ignorance-our confidence that knowing was half the battle and that the remainder would be carried out by, well, someone else (or the pharmacist).

Starting is a merge. An incredulous and awesome merge of Science and Religion, History and Myth, Fact and inevitable futures. These are a tid bit of the components, but you get the idea. In this macrocosm of social elements, it sounds exciting, but on the scale of day to day life, this means a rift and a shift in Medicine and Health. It means the breaking down of old ideals and belief systems. It means a change in the concept of employment, social class and structure. On the level of culture, I would call it a Social Drift as opposed to the Genetic Drift we all may be used to reading about or perhaps are bewildered by when we assume there is a missing link.

As we reach a critical mass of sorts, as things continue to disintegrate and change, we must be flexible within our environs and self motivated to continue until we have found our "New Social Settlement" if you will. Our new way of utilizing technology without polluting the planet and radiating ourselves. A new way to travel and communicate without health depreciating devices. We must be driven to find a way that all Nations, People and Environmental Kingdoms can grow and interact with the other elements of life. And we must find the inspiration for these changes within our selves and avoid the pitfalls of a competitive spirit with our neighbors, enemies or peers. We will do best to learn to be self sufficent while making every effort to contribute to the whole. Action from inaction, inspiration from within.

Happy Friday the 13th.

Headed to 2015 or Let's Get this Party Started!

I'm so excited for 2015! Though I've loved what I do since I started marketing, I've literally never been so excited about the road ahead. I've spent the past year learning about green technology, further defining my career goals and getting to know a wide range of individuals and organizations around the globe. I've mentored, joined collaborative events and expanded my view of what's possible and now it's time to truly put the lessons to work. The sun is setting on 2014 If you know me, you know that almost every conversation I have includes my marketing company, my clients or the implications of what is possible for the globe if we keep moving forward and continue to develop as individuals. With the incredible amount of information available and the now trendy focus on community, collaboration and sustainability, I feel there has never been a better time for me. This week, I've put out a calendar of events, promotions and opportunities that ex...

Local Real Estate Agent Dedicates Commissions to the BLM

Emily Fuller, a Utah Real Estate agent with a focus on equestrian properties, has decided to give back by donating commissions from every home sale to the BLM for the care of wild Mustangs. Real Estate Agent Emily Fuller and her Mustang Paco Fino, Stormy When Emily Fuller turned sixteen, it wasn’t a shiny car that kept her attention and it certainly wasn’t dresses and Seventeen magazine. Emily had a love for Stormy, her Mustang-Paco Fino horse. From an even earlier age, Emily had a gift with horses, training the large and wild animals without fear.   Now 30, Fuller sees a current and pressing need to help wild Mustangs throughout her home state. The BLM or, Bureau of Land Management, has the task of rounding up 10,000 horses this year, increasing the already heavy taxpayer burden to house and store for the animals long term. Emily’s plan? Help to care for the horses using   her Real Estate business. Each year, the Bureau of Land management cares for tens of thousand...

Life Without Ritual

or A Guide to Escaping Mental Mind Traps (part 1) Written with a style dedicated to Rockie and Bullwinkle. Here's to never finishing the story. "Consistently inconsistent," my Dad says. It's a sentiment I've heard before, but never so eloquently put. And that would be my Dad. He's an example of power through minimal words, a man Lincoln would praise for his ability to use the least syllables while expressing absolute meaning. Unlike this paragraph and unlike me, most of the time. Allow me to digress... The world is in a period of obvious drastic change. 'The End of Times,' some say. The End of Times...    Not the End of Time,    Not the End of the World. What are 'times,' anyhow?    Let's start where I learned to and then go backwards in case I was taught wrong. We start off by defining the first word and gaining an understanding of the core concept, then the whole (thank you, Gary Mullanax). Try to stay with me...    ...
