Greetings!
Here is a video I produced to explain how I am using Google Blogger, You Tube, and Facebook to help promote Coastwalk, and to help others do the same for causes they work for.
I've discovered that, for those of us who had greatly defined the goodness in our lives by the jobs we did, retirement means we now need to redefine how we see ourselves being good. This blog is will explore how we do it.

I Give Thanks
Greetings!
Since I'm posting to Facebook and Myspace groups this week on Coastwalk and the Children of Vietnam photographs, I thought I'd also include a video I have on my You Yube account which was produced by Pachamama Alliance at their Mills College World Conference last summer. It really is beautiful.

Comments on the Nonprofit World
Greetings!
Hanging out with a moderate case of poison oak for the last day, I had a chance to catch up on some blogs that I found this week. One is of particular interest.
NonProfit Eye
It's written by a friend of mine who once worked for me in a small nonprofit here in Sonoma County. She's gone on to do wonderous things for nonprofit financial management, and I'm glad that I've discovered her work again after many years. I highly recommend subscribing to her blog to keep abreast of the views of a wise younger one.
Other Resources
There are groups of people in thos part of the world whose work I support. The work they do is varied, and my support results from personal associations I have established with them. Some are connected to me through WiserEarth, others from times long past.

Prioritizing
Greetings!
With so many things to spend the time in retirement, how do you keep from getting over-extended? The fence next to my hot-tub has seven combinations of one inch and six inch plywood boards. It makes a really nice design for a fence, but an even better design to help focus your mind and planning. As I sit in the toasty water thinking about what I'm going to do each day, I assign the work to one of the seven large boards. I don't try more than seven things each day, though I have to admit that some of the tasks get pretty complex.
