Positive Money Leicester- January 28th - 1st Meeting

After the success of our first event, it was now time to convene together with a group of like-minded people to get the ball rolling.

I launched my call for people to join me at De Montfort University - Room 0.07 at 7pm.

I advertised the event online, shared the words in various groups, Transition Leicester, Permaculturists, Twitter and Facebook Communities. I sent the info to my mailing list but who knows what is going to happen.

Among the Yeses & Apologies, some questions:

One of the questions asked was whether the difficulty to spread the word via social media was due to general apathy or fear of the supposed complexity of the issue.

With no judgement and bias, I do not know. But I am sure that the message is acknowledged by some.

One of the second question was to know how many people would be present.

Ultimately, I do not know. But as long as the people who are coming want to contribute and do something, it will be good enough.

What I know is that by sharing information , I am fulfilling my social responsibility as a citizen and by being present at meeting for social change, I am participating in democracy. About others, knowing what they do or not, I remain optimistic that they are walking in the same direction as mine.

The horizon towards a better future is big, let's just keep walking towards it.

Next Meeting for Positive Money Leicester - 18th January 2014 - 7-8.45 - De Montfort University - 0.07

Can you do both at the same time? Yes you can do both, do not ever think that where you are is static, the place is constantly changing and it is within the details that you can find new meaning for oneself and if this is not enough, plan time in and go to come back different..

Missminimalist , Thank you

I was hooked to missminimalist blogs in the past four days, reading approximately 16 pages of individuals testimonies on how they started and enjoyed their minimalist journey. It opened my eyes on the endless minimalist lifestyles that any of us can implement. I admire the traveller, the spiritualist, the true materialist (as opposed to consumerist), the mindful, the artist, the mum, the dad, the designer who with intention choose to keep the things that add value to his/her life and get rid of the frivolous. Beyond just getting rid of things, there is not participating to our current wasteful society, it is recognising that we are all equal regardless of what we own and finally it is embracing freedom. It is why I love it. I encourage you to have a read/rid, I hope it will inspire you:  http://www.missminimalist.com/

Kidnapper?

A kidnapper is a person who abducts someone and holds them captive, typically to obtain a ransom. There are many kidnappers in one life. Those who love you may be you holding you captive until all is gone. Your work is too taking away your childhood dream so you can keep running on the treadmill. A tree is too, it gives you air. Cut it, you may die. Find and name your kidnapper and weight whether you shall escape or stay. Remember though as you live one another emerge because the definition of yourself does not exist, you are dependent on others and the environment you are in.
