A Little Update

Hey guys, Happy New Year to all, and I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanza, or other rejoiceful holiday. I have been vacationing in Florida and in my fine home of Washington so I have not posted in a time. The good news is I am back in town and back in business, and I'l be posting more cool stuff soon. The even better news is, it looks like I will have some new writers joining me to create awesome content on the blog.

I'll write again soon. Until then

Merry Wishes,
GS

Alas, even the smallest pieces do my heart good.  The complete account of Bill Drayton's chat with David Bornstein was not made available tonight, according to my knowledge, so we'll have to wait another day.

The Wholeness Discussion

To date, the Luminary Discussion group is progressing well. We have met weekly for the past two months to discuss wholeness. We broke wholeness into manageable categories: Spiritual, Intellectual, Physical, Social, Economic, Creative, and Environmental.
