EDUCATION
GIAI UNIVERSITY
I am currently doing an on-line course CREATING REGENERATIVE LIVELIHOODS. The midnight webinars have been challenging but the course is providing much food for thought. The course material and sharing from fellow colleagues has prompted many hours of reading and research into new economies, innovation, ecosocial business models, complementary currencies & financial systems.... I am in a state of information overload at the moment, but intend to take the time in the coming months to delve further into some of the content. It has also been inspiring to read about the various projects that other students on the program are starting all over the world and I look forward to following how these develop moving forward.

PEOPLE
I have come across quite a number of people in the Permaculture community that have inspired me these past few months. I hope to interview them and put together a "how-to" guide!!
What is Success?
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
