Who would I like to encounter through my ebay selling experience?

I have to trust in God that anything is pushing me to do right now is the right pathway for me.

In January, I started to sell more seriously on eBay
I enjoy posting items on eBay. 
I have approximately 147 items currently listed.
I sold 27 items in total
I feel particularly good when knowing that someone is going to make use of the items I do not need. 
I enjoy making my packets, going to the post office and knowing that it is gone in the universe.
The person on the other side will open the parcel and a new story will begin for the item.
I could easily flog all the items at a charity shop.
Yet I feel it is so impersonal.
I came to learn that a large proportion of the sale of items in charity shops tend to help with the running of the shop itself as opposed to the people.
I am not really sure where all this is going to lead me to.
Like my friend says to me, it is not about where you end up, it is about the people you encounter along the way.

Who would I like to encounter through all my selling experiences:

I want to encounter artists who will be upcycling some of the items to give it to people they care about.
I want to encounter people living where I live.
I want to encounter tinkerers and repairers
I want to encounter collectors.

I will be more specific as time passes by.

In regard to my sales, not accounting for the shipping fees etc.
January: £108
February: £80.14

For my store : here

I am grateful for it all.

Finding a partner in the making

I love working on projects. I love working with others. When I started to be a volunteer coordinator for Positive Money in Leicester, I wanted to find a partner to create some events on the theme of money. This person had to be reliable, trustworthy and hard working.  I did not find the person through the various meetings and events which I organised or participated in. The individuals I have met were not there to collaborate in the way I wanted. They were looking to gain other social benefits. Eventually, one person revealed herself to be the right partner whilst I was volunteering to support her own scheme: Footpaths, a carbon footprint reduction community-based programme . I run some sessions with her as a co-facilitator. Through our preparation meetings, I shared my vision for Positive Money in Leicester and our two worlds merged. Since then, we are partners. Others got inspired and joined us to develop a taster and full day workshop on Money. After the taster...

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.

Welcome to Social Activator

The purpose of this blog is to log thoughts on social activism, design, marketing and community building as well as to review of fantastic projects within the community which strive to create spaces for people to share knowledge, skills, abilities and fun. My vision is for everyone to come to the recognition that they are social activator. They are change agents. They can create opportunities for other to find their own space in this world to create a better present for themselves but also for others. We are all activators. I have plenty of ideas on how this blog will be run. I will probably start where I am now in the UK, Leicester before expanding my reach. I will write down all those ideas and then structure my thoughts before moving to my next action. I keep you posted!
