I spent most of my 30s exploring activism (both active and the armchair sort, such as this blog), but most of what I got involved in seemed to really miss some type of spiritual intention (at least on my part). Somehow I knew that at some point I'd be looking at a way to combine these two phases of my life.
Now, just entering my 40s, I may have found that next step, or a pathway to help me move in that direction. I had a wonderful conversation with a very amazing woman and her project recently : Urban Village Salt Lake City (ning community here)
Maybe this growth (dare I say evolution?) will be something I explore here. I think it will mean that I'll be spending less time focusing on the negative and more time focusing on a new consciousness. Or at least trying to find a balance between not ignoring the important issues, but looking for a way to concentrate energy on positive change. It will be a challenge.
