WE ARE MOVING!

Hi there!

You will find me HERE! I am moving my blog to www.idea-360.com/blog. We are still working out the kinks over there...like how to insert a thumbnail image so it doesn't say...no image, but otherwise, we are good to go. Lots of SXSW info over there!

Thanks!

Janine

I have a crush on David Byrne

Ride, Rise, Roar trailer from ride, rise, roar on Vimeo.

I have this long lasting magnetic attraction to David Byrne and his work. Now...25 years later... I play Burning Down the House (quite loudly) in the AM before I take my 7 year old to school. How could someone start their day off on the wrong foot when you have danced around the kitchen in your PJs while eating French Toast?

This latest video sums up what happens on the inside of my brain. RISE RIDE ROAR fascinates me. I am in awe of the creative experience- when someone follows the experiment of making stuff happen... it's almost as if, his process gives me greater license to follow my intuition and make stuff happen.

WHERE DOES YOUR INSPIRATION TO "MAKE STUFF HAPPEN" COME FROM?

So enjoy!

Ch ch ch changes.....

... I will promise a somewhat personal peek into the stories that have been building for 2 years.



A poem I found today that seemed to sum me up.

I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you,

and that you will work them,

water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom,

till you yourself burst into blossom.-

Clarissa Pinkola Estes

You see, in a matter of days, this blog will look different and you will hear about a project I (we) have been working on for a long time. All it takes is a life changing event for the questions to show up differently!

I have lived with the questions....

• 
  
  how do I make sure I am part of the solution?


• 
  
  how do I make sure that this place is a good place for my young son to inherit?


• 
  
  how do I bring the thing I love to do most in my professional life to the biggest questions facing us today?

• 
  
  .......and......how can I go flyfishing more often?

As they say, the more beautiful the answer begets a more beautiful question...so, the more incredible the answers, the deeper the next questions- hence the 2 years of work.

Stay tuned folks...I promise it to be cool

Happy Holidays

Wishing you the warmest holiday season!

We are looking forward to launching some new and exciting programs in 2010. For now, we will be spending time with family and playing outside in the snow as much as possible.

IT'S REALLY THERE, REALLY REALLY THERE!

Margaret Wheatley played this video at the conclusion of the ETDA conference I attended over the weekend. I have played it many times since and each time, I am struck by....the incredible nature of the message. I hope you enjoy it and pass it on...

What a treat!

IT'S the DREAM TEAM!

Emily, Paula and myself were working with Dana on a project for MARS, Inc. last week... how great it is to work with incredible women who do amazing work. Just too good to be true!
