PURPOSE

What is the purpose of such things, these new forms of communication? Maybe I am late in asking this question as blogs now form a considerable amount of our media and communication strategies. So, the real reason I ask is rhetorical in nature. purpose is a different quality of experience. It implies a sense of connection and perspective. I could be stating my purpose with regard to personal satisfaction or in the case of career development. There may even be a sense of spiritual fulfillment that I experience from connecting with others. But purpose also means suggests my connection to others and the world around me. I do not live in a vacuum from where come vacuous statements of ignorance. Rather, I do recognize our interconnected world and function with the values of altruism, care, and service for a better present and future in which to live on this planet. Our mission continues in this late stage of life. Do we choose to protect life on and as this planet with a sense of sacred gratitude for Gaia and her amazing gifts; or do we continue to abuse and disrespect her without any regard for that which sustains us? I for one choose to love and appreciation the beautiful gifts of nature, including us in the paradigm of life.

Do you think that we have the solutions to our biggest challenges?

The First Lady is redefined!

Michelle Obama continues to match the courage, voracity, and audaciousness of her husband President Barack Obama, by redefining the role of The First Lady in a modern era.

As the movie, Avatar, famously reminded me, it's all about the connection. I can't emphasize enough how important this concept is, and thus gained even more respect for James Cameron. Our connection to each other and of course our planet - Gaia. One way that Michelle Obama has brought us back into the White House and brought life and health back to the people is by making another one of her bold statements by replacing part of the White House lawn with an organic garden. It is from here that produce is brought into the Whitehouse kitchen, inspiring chefs, students, children, and environmentalists the nation over. One inspired chef includes the very own White House Executive Chef, Cristeta Comerford, who started in the Clinton White House as a Sous Chef:
