One morning, I woke up at 7am with an article in my head. It was a bundle of words and phrases, it had a tone and a voice. I got up and wrote it out in less than an hour. It was the easiest thing I’ve ever written.

I popped it up on a blog, then Permaculture Magazine picked it up and published it back in July 08, and that led to a Canadian textbook buying reprint rights, as well as an extract being featured in Earth Pathways Diary 2010 and it being requested by an on-line magazine called Celsias.

So many people have said it has inspired them to find work that fulfils them, or it was the wake-up call they were waiting for. I write about finding and making our Contribution Footprint, our way of making a difference in the world.

Now a friend has suggested I enter the Oofoo Laureate competition – which I have! I haven’t read the other entries yet – my guess is there could be some other fantastic ones in there – so make yourself a cuppa, have a browse, get inspired – and perhaps even vote for mine? It’s called The World Needs Your Passion and you vote simply with a tick.

Happy reading!

The World Needs Your Passion, So…

I decided to make today’s blog super easy for me. I’ve recycled a note I wrote on Facebook and have done without a photo. I’m continually learning that there’s only so much I’m in charge of – I don’t have to make everything perfect, triple-checked, all-singing all-dancing for it have impact. Let me know the impact of this easy approach for you by posting a comment on this blog.

An inquiry for you: Where could you make life WAY easier for yourself today? And what will you do with all that extra time and energy?!
