universe, are you listening?


what if it was possible to have a place where you could combine all of the things you want to do in your life? a place full of good energy, inspiring surroundings, nurturing, caring people. a creative place, where you could do business, come up with great ideas, learn new things and spend time with people who make you better at what you do and challenge you in a good way. and what if you could get a cup of really good coffee there? what if that place didn't exist, so you had to create it yourself? and what if there just happened to be a charming old train station building, standing empty, just waiting for you to make it awesome?


and what if it needed a whole lot of paint and elbow grease? would you do it? would you, on the theory that writing is the new praying, write it down here for all the world to see and hope that the universe is listening so that all of the pieces would fall into place to make it happen? would you dare to believe and do all that you could yourself to make it happen? even if people thought you were crazy?

This is what happened for the Center for Social Innovation here in Toronto - they are now at three locations in the city and one just opened in NYC. I think the model is amazing, and you might see your own path forward in their experiences.... http://socialinnovation.ca/about

I have been approved for office space there, and have been to a few events, brainstormings, entrepreneurial groups... let's talk ! - Michelle/Madison,nope Toronto

I don't think it's a crazy idea at all! I think it's quite magical actually, and I just happen to believe in magic! I will put an extra vote/shout out to the universe for you.

Love it!

Oh my gosh! You MUST do it! That purplish paint in there is the sign. I am so so so excited and hopeful for you. It is THE thing! Keep us posted, won't you?

ps, I love that your town (right,?) is called Give. How perfect is that?

I just about bought an abandoned fire hall near Seattle a few years ago. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm currently Canadian and have absolutely no desire to be American (sorry) I so would have bought it on the spot.
