Ten in One - 7-1-08: Survival of the Fiddles

So many are stepping forward to help me, support me, and believe in me. I am so grateful for that. I meet so many with such beautiful visions, and I believe in all of them. It is so amazing to be part of a time where new communities are being birthed all over the planet and right here at home.

Corporations, churches, gods, individuals are all entities - entities are collectives of thought - a unified force made of cells. Each part giving power/life to the larger entity - all giving power to an idea - a dream.

A world is an agreed upon collection of ideas.

All over the planet there are many beautiful dreams that are being birthed into the world around us and are starting to connect to create a new world. As a new world gains strength, an old world fades away. The individual dreamers have been laying down the foundation and are now bringing their dreams down, to plant them in fertile earth.

What kind of wild and creative community building ideas do you have tugging at your heart? Nothing comes to mind? Are you familiar with other things near you going on that you can get involved with?

It is with much pleasure that I announce Dogged Dream Creations, which has been my dream for many years. We're stubbornly determined to dream.

Two: Coming Soon:

(current news with Divinity)

The Speak Easy opening was a huge success,and was truly an inspiring evening of open hearts! We loved seeing and hearing from all of you. The performances were amazing, art was sold, and fun was had by all! :)

Anyone who can share a testimony about how much they enjoyed it, please send it to divinityrose AT gmail.com

Check out the photos by Greg and Marie at www.doggeddreamcreations.com. Videos will be up soon.

The next one will be July 25, 2008. If you have art to sell, contact me to arrange a time to hang it before the event. All are open to perform.... it's an open stage (or staircase).

Admittance: donation, beverage, food, contribution, just bring an offering (size of offering doesn't matter) :)

"Just wanted you to know the Speak Easy was a good time.
Even though I didn't know anyone when I arrived the atmosphere was warm
and inviting-a very easy going crowd. There was a great energy with the combination of expression and humour. By the time I left, I was inspired and had met many new potential friends.
Perhaps you might persuade yourself to join in next month, even if it is
just to listen and chillax..." -Justin S Wolcott "

It is so important to get to know each other and form a community. Please invite your friends and family or hold your own speak easy parties.

Three: Rhyme and Reason:

I come peddling dreams

And lead the way to a life without seams.

I'm not quite a human shell

Though, I wear a body well.

Four: Show must go on

Five: The Tightrope:

(a glimpse at the paths I currently find myself walking... )

I am Spirit. .. and getting a better grasp of Be - ing: Being myself and everything around me - what it is to exist as a world - to feel more connected to everything because I am everything.

Your inner voice speaks to you through your art. Everything you pour out in writing, in words, in art, in actions is a communication from your internal voice to you.

When you learn to pay attention, you no longer worry about how you will make things happen. You will see yourself and pay attention to the guidance all around you.

Six: Sideshow Snippet:

Snippets from journals

I do not show more love than you. I struggle no less.

I am just a voice, but a voice is what moves the masses.

Business serves as a system. Systems create a path for energy to flow through and power a creation.

We are the human race. The roles we play for each other have always been the same. We don't change. We are what we are. We just pour ourselves into new containers.

Different people serve different gods, different ideas,

powering them and keeping them alive.

If I let you in my most sacred place, it will change you.

I've had to learn to be me and do what I love wherever I am ...

to be me - whether paid or not.

Seven: Cool Web Site of the week:

Breaking New Grounds

An awesome Louisville program

Breaking New Grounds is a sustainable pilot system to transform a plentiful waste product into a healthy, living soil, create neighborhood gardens, nutritious food, sustainable jobs and teach young people how this simple process can give birth to amazing possibilities. The Breaking New Grounds concept is to develop with local farmers and other partners across the city a neighborhood-based, community food system that will:

• Grow food, grow farmers and grow jobs

• Empower local farmers, our neighbors and ourselves to create healthy worm compost, bountiful organic gardens, nutritious food, neighborhood-based economic development and community from food and other waste that is currently landfilled

• Provide healthy food to neighbors and local non-profits, including several Kids' Cafes that serve breakfast and dinner to hungry children; and

• Provide new job skills and incomes in neighborhoods where residents are underemployed.

Ten: Grand Finale:

Remember, whatever you choose, you will be successful. So, you better go for what you really want. You have the solution our community is waiting for. You are amazing and creative creatures. Let your crazy free. We're the kind of crazy this world needs.

Last week, Cody accidentally said "Survival of the fiddles" instead of "fittest". I thought it was cute and I'd like to remind you that in the coming hard times, the qualities of unity, community building, harmony, and nourishment are going to be the factors that determine the fittest. It is only by relying on each other that survival is possible.

Dream well, dream deep and may all paths lead you back to the heart.

Love, Light and Blessings to send you through your dream,
