I am reading an incredible book called, Making a living without a Job, and it is just one of those books that hit you WOW...just what you need when you read it. It is so inspirational, helpful and well written, I keep thinking why didn't I find this sooner...but you know what, it wouldn't have meant as much sooner in my life. I'm ready for it now. I swear, the ideas for "profit centers", Barbara Winters term in the book for the large and small profit making ventures in your life, just keep flowing and flowing. There is no way I'd ever be able to implement even the good ones.

I wonder sometimes...will I really do this, or will this be an idea that comes and goes, like other "obsessions" in my past. In a way, I don't care either way...just being able to feel creative and Unlocked is so wonderful. Greg and I sit around in the evening and brainstorm ideas for our future, imagining where we might be, what we might do. Just to be open to doing something new is wonderful.

I was just looking through my groups on yahoo and noticed one of the poor neglected lists that I started myself. Womens_wisdom. I read through the purpose of the group:

In those of us who have made it our goal to constanstly
work in our lives for self improvement, there is a vast
depth of knowledge. I have been continually amazed at the
kindness, wisdom, and openness of other women that I have
met on email lists. I would like to create a place for us
to "meet" to share what is currently happening in our lives
trials, breakthroughs, mundane slogging through life--all
the little things we achieve in our journey. This list is
for sharing knowledge, favorite books, journal excerpts, poetry.
Vent anger, share kind gestures from strangers, find support for
the new excercise program, warnings about dangerous practices,
help to find resources...I hope to keep the group fairly small
so that we can develop a sense of community. There will
be some topic ideas provided, but mostly this group will
develop through member participation.

and thought, wow...what a wonderful idea for a group, LOL. Of course, the group matches in many ways what we already do on another list I'm a moderater on, Journal_women, I'm not sure why I felt such a need at one time to start my own. I think it must have been during a battle with the originator of this journal list.

Anyway, reading the description that I did of that group, I thought about how full circle my life has come recently. I've always been a person that seeks to grow spiritually, individually and I'm always striving to increase my knowledge. Themes come up over and over in my life and are temporarily forgotten. With all the recent changes and plans, these same things that I talked about in my group idea are once again becoming central themes--knowlege, good books, poetry, support.
