Sources of Thought and Inspiration

You'll notice to the left that I have begun a list of sources of thought. I would love to hear what your sources of thought are. I am always reading something, whether that be a book, magazine or newspaper article. I especially love finding sources of inspiration.

Recently I came across an organization called Urban Boat Builders. they work with youth to learn the fine art of hand building wooden boats. The organization has been incredibly successful in giving youth those feelings of accomplishment that I talked about earlier, as key to a healthy outlook on life.

Funnily when I sent the link to my friend who lives in St Paul, MN she had already begun to work with that very organization. I love how things like that work out.

I would love for us to share those people and organizations that inspire us. By doing this we are increasing our sense of accomplishment, that the people in the world really are working to create a better world. We also get to discover more great organzations and people who might be interrested in the very work we wish to do.
