Texas Bioneer Conference

Texas Bioneers is coming around again, October 17th-19th. I spoke at this conference several years ago.  I found it to be very uplifting and inspiring.

Not only did I get to learn from international researchers and pioneers, via the satelite feeds from CA, but I was about to connect with people in our own community making positive changes, towards more natural, sustainable systems of being.

For more conference information contact: Cath Conlon, cathbkwood@aol.com, 713.768.3422 or ConSandra Jones, creatively.inspired@yahoo.com, 713.334.0200.

An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous.
- Henry Ford

Thanks Mr. Ford.  It’s official, I am an idealist.

That statement is probably not a revelation to anyone who has worked with me, or even visited with me long at a dinner party.  Idealism is not naivete; no matter what my uncle Ron says.  The difference is my idealism has legs.  I am succeeding and prospering by helping other community members prosper.

Houston is full of these social entrepreneurial idealists. We can all prosper together.  Some of us are getting together tonight, and each Wednesday night through October, at Beaver’s Ice House for Green Drinks.

See you there!
