Heavenly Clowns Bee of good courage!!!!!!!!

According to science the bumble bee can't fly being too big for its wings! Of course, the bee doesn't know that and does it anyways! The yellow and black coat it wears seems too much yet the female survives the winter to produce another honeypot and yearlings. The organizations that are getting large corporate grants such as monsanto and roundup that are ruining the countries farmlands don't deserve the help they write bills for with their large cash crop. It is time for the little guy to stand… Continue

Janna Besh The third Solution Salon 3/21/09

I almost cancelled the third event, because I have a bad case of bronchitis. We thought some people would still show up and some did. It was FREEZING cold outdoors . So we met indoors. Even though I was sick I went to the Vallejo Saturday Farmers Market that morning and bought vegetables for the soup . While there, I met a singer who had a beautiful voice. A blues band was playing and he was singing to them from across the crowd. His name was Squeeze. I asked him to come to the next event and he… Continue

3/14/09 was a freezing cold blustery day. The weather was not condusive to an outdoor meeting. So we met indoors. We served vegetable soup and hot tea. Although we are certain the weather dissuaded many people from attending, we had a solid group of caring individuals that did attend. We did not have any musicians or other entertainment , but this is a work in progress and we expect this to change. We provided information on going Green and had printed information for people to read up on from t… Continue

Janna Besh Solano Green Alliance's first Solution Salon report

We opened our doors to the community, but had not done a press release , invitations, or any other advertising so our turn out was very small. I thought, well, if one person shows up, then that is a success... and well, two people showed up. So it may have been a small success... but I wasn't feeling very successful. But realized the errors we had made. Duh, you have to invite people, not just announce it to the Nation on-line. Thank goodness I made soup for about a hundred... so that was sort o… Continue

Momma 25 ways to save money and bargain shop in small towns and rural areas

Hi, I'm excited to find this network. My husband and I live in a rural area, 100 miles from a "city" of 20,000 or more. We try to help others save money and recently started a series of articles titled, "25 ways to save money and bargain shop in small towns and rural areas" We are trying to share this series with as many folks that live in small towns and rural areas as we can. But we have no advertising budget, so this makes it very difficult. Please help us spread the word. You can read the… Continue

But what will happen when we leave here. We talk about what's coming on the earth now you know it's really not a secert. It's has been told to us that these thingS will happen. Where will you stand in this transition the world is going thur. We need to turn our eyes to the means that can help us when no one else… Continue

Jason Gray Water in the Fields, Frost on the Peach Blossom, Redbuds in Bloom

Recently, I made the umpteenth hundred trip from Cary to Wilmington this past year. Family illness, when you know there will be no cure, makes the miles crawl to a funeral march, but it gives you a chance to really pay attention to the landscape. It is a corrective skill; given that America is now predominantly a suburban nation, we have largely lost our ability to see the subtle changes in the land, to understand the profound, and profoundly difficult, connections between nature, working lands… Continue

Michelle Gonzales The NonProfit Mafia Blog, Issue 2, Volume 1: It Doesn't Matter If You're Close to Dying

This week I spent several days at Duke fighting a terrible bout with the flu. I've been sick for several months, but have been pushing myself in order to earn my stripes as E.D. of this organization. The last straw for my son when he came home from school and found me lying across my laptop, trying to make a grant deadline, sweating and throwing up (but still typing!). He and my boyfriend carried me into the car and rushed me to the E.R. I had almost 105 temp and my heart rate was 144. I was str… Continue

Jason Gray Individual Assets/Community Assets

Over the past ten years there has been huge progress in understanding and advocating for policies that grow financial assets for low wealth workers and households - IDAs, earned income tax credits, to name just a few. CFED, in particular has done groundbreaking work on this (see in particular the fine report by former CFED staffers Beadsie Woo and David Bulcholz, "Return on Investment"). We have a pretty clear picture of what constitutes an individual asset program. Does the notion transfer to… Continue

Michelle Gonzales The NonProfit Mafia Blog, Issue 1, Volume 1

Over the last two years, I have made strides to examine what is important in my life. I have consistently purged what I either clearly knew was toxic, or at least what I thought I might be making toxic by my presence. I have watched, listened, emulated like a budgie nodding his head in imitation. The result of this is to find myself on a perch of my own making; to be fully in charge a nonprofit organization at last. Yet to be fully accountable for the shelf-life of an arts organization is not a… Continue
