Awesome. Must be a sign from the mama ship, letting you know you're on the right path. Perhaps it's the beginning of your initiation as our new Captain Planet?! They're watching us...

At 2:56pm on November 10, 2009, Nick Potter said…: Surprise!

You’re invited to our last Face-to-Face event for Wellington Intersectors for 2009. There will be the usual sharing of ideas and inspirations, but this one is a little bit Christmas flavoured and it’s all about Giving.

There will be surprise gifts, crafty activities, ideas for 'sustainable' gifts and conversations about giving. You can get involved in any way that suits you - even if it's just to meet a few more people and enjoy some tasty treats.

...Pssst...pass it on!
Why not surprise someone from the Wellington Intersectors and post this invite on their profile?

Cheers!

At 10:38am on May 23, 2009, Lindsay Alderton said…: Hey Rebeka I just wrote you a whole message and then when I pressed the add button it all miraculously disappeared. Dontcha just LOVE it when that happens? Weird. Apologies if it reappears some time later and you end up getting two very similar messages from me.

Ok. Well the reason I'm writing (again) is to thank you for posting up that astounding speech on Written Wisdom. It was absolutely what I needed to wake up and read this morning, and one of those rare sublime happenings when the message you need to hear comes at precisely the right time. So thank you for that!

Many of the key messages within the speech echoed with stuff I've read by Joseph Campbell. I'm not sure if you've read anything by him but I wholeheartedly reccommend him as his writings - for me - were a key motivator in getting my ass up and off the meditation cushion and into active service. I'm still working out in what way I can best be of service but in the meantime I'm throwing myself in anyway.

Anyway here's a selection of some of my most favorite quotes by him, I hope you enjoy.

Have a great weekend!

Your friend (the woolly one) is hangin' out with me today. She's by my keyboard. It's nice to have her around :-)
See you on Monday!

At 9:54am on March 11, 2009, Lindsay Alderton said…: Hey Rebeka, I'd be really interested in learning more about Choices - particularly if there's a seminar running in Wellington any time after the 18th March. I've just moved into a management role at work and am looking to implement measures to make the organization more sustainable, would love to hear some ideas from others who've been in the same situation.... Would be great to hear some info re times, dates, costs etc - my personal email is lindsayalderton@gmail.com

cheers!
