Yep.  Come work out they say!  They have exercises. They practice.  It takes intentional focus! It builds the immune system, grows vitality, increases emotional resilience and expands the lungs which would improve physical endurance.

What a gas!  I laughed outloud, slapped my knees, stomped, laughed behind my hand, like a penquin, like a lion…it was fun! In the end I realized that I was sweating, had stomach muscles (more…)

One of the projects I have been working on for awhile is UnitingCreatives.com – it is a site where you can talk to other enterprising people in a social media technology.  I invite you to join us and check it out.  Help us work the bugs out of it, and help us pioneer change on purpose – change that is relevant to our real  lives.

UnitingCreatives.com is a collaborative website put together by a team of hardy enterprising souls.

It is a new idea in social media that I hope will take the models pioneered by Facebook, MySpace and Biznik to the next level:  to develop a new conversation around community business  that works.

It is where “we the people” can gather to talk about how to creatively change the future through revisioning it, defining the world we want to see, and gathering human and intellectual resources to make it happen, encouraging initiative and mentoring people to take action.

It is not a site where you waste time on social chitchat, or on complaining, arguing or overdramatizing.  it is not for emotionalizing, sensationalizing, or hyper-connecting.

It is a place of courage…where we will have fun as we learn how to:

• Use technology to bridge the gap from the past to the future as we deal with the complex issues of job loss, industry upheaval, globalization, environmental decay and turn it into rejuvenation, revitalization, regeneration and reconstruction.
• Team up across platforms to apply the skills of brainstorming, masterminding, sharing and compassion to our real lives in our community.
• Share our dreams and resources.
• Learn how to trust each other to give their best, to share their hearts and desires, to give what they can to make the world a better place.

I call it ‘intentional social media‘ – an alternative to old media.  It is time it showed up, so that we humans can show up for change!  Hurray!
