June 1, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time. - Maya Angelou - Seattle's One of A Kind Food Forest Can food be free, fresh, and easily accessible? That's the bold question the city of Seattle is hoping to answer with a new experimental farm near downtown that will have fruits and vegetables for anyone to harvest. The planners have discussed what would happen if someone picks all the fruit for themselves. "But that's been perceived as a good thing," says one of the project architects. "We'll just plant more." Offering people free, fresh food is one motivation, but making the land useful and ecologically enriched is the larger goal. { read more } Be The Change Today, think about how you can increase your trust in the goodness deep inside others in your life.

May 31, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace It is the greatest truth of our age: Information is not knowledge. - Caleb Carr - This Is Your Brain on the Internet We are bombarded by information, thanks in large part to the internet and its allied technologies. But exposure to unlimited information is not the same thing as the ability to capture it as knowledge or synthesize it as understanding. "We are living in a state of perpetual distraction," says Nicholas Carr, "which crowds out the more contemplative, calmer modes of thinking." We need these quieter, less frenetic moments to think conceptually, critically, and creatively. This video argues that digital multitasking and cute cat videos are undermining the very thought processes that are the essence of our humanity. { read more } Be The Change Make some time today to switch off your computer, mobile phone, television, and radio and think calmly and deeply about something important to you.

May 30, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order. - Carl Jung - Transformation By Design: Your Visa Card & Evolution's Plan Like the familiar phrases yin and yang, work and play, peanut butter and jelly, the term chaordic brings seeming opposites together in harmony. According to Dee Hock, the founder and former CEO of Visa International, the company owes its success to its cha-ordic structure. "Hock coined the term chaordic to describe that perfect balance of chaos and order where evolution is most at home. Yes, that's right. His business venture took its cues from Mother Evolution, whose "trademark" dynamism, changing change, and explosive originality are forever groping to innovate, prosper, and extend creation's euphoric reach further and further into manifestation." Get into the mind of Hock through this fascinating interview, and explore the profound world of living transformation. { read more } Be The Change Take a Dee Hock-inspired walk, and examine the natural world around you with a renewed sense of awareness.

May 29, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace Abundance doesn't follow giving until giving becomes its own reward. - Jan Denise - 10 Ways to Get Ahead Through Giving Why do some people become successful while others do not? Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist at The Wharton School, has studied this question and what he found is surprising: "The people most likely to rise to the top are often those who give the most to others -- people Grant calls 'givers,' as opposed to the 'takers' who try to get as much as possible from others and the 'matchers' who try to give and take in equal amounts." In this article, Grant outlines ten ways to get ahead through being unconditionally generous at work, home, and even online. { read more } Be The Change Start a reciprocity ring, love machine, or test your giving quotient to amp up your giving and help others express their generosity.
