Barbara Sher offers keys to the Universe
She doesn't necessarily know how to do everything. But she knows how to figure out! Longtime "career coach," she's an innovator in the art of doing what you love. Figuring out how to figure out how. In the last few years, she's taken her passion to Turkey, and is helping the women there learn how to sell their rugs online. She brings together tourists from western countries. The Turkish women teach the westerners how to weave, the westerners help the Turkish women learn to use computers.

Barbara Sher's work helped me respect myself and made me realize that the way I liked to work was not just ok (unlike what so many other people tried to tell me) but that it was amazing! I's so valuable to know that one's unique approach to life is useful and necessary for a diverse and thriving world. :-)

Oh, and amusingly, I just went to check out Sher's blog and right at the top was a post about how she had an issue with Seth Godin's use of the term "Lizard Brain", which is something I too wrote about rather passionately, and even sent him an email about. So I commented and added my own two cents to her blog, too. No sense in having people blame the wrong part of their brain for something it didn't do! :-)

Simple and brilliant- sometimes it's just about letting people know they have the power to do more.

Hi Jacque! I think I remember your name from Barbara's board-- and Jon Singer's blog, too, right? I used Barbara's first book, Wishcraft, to get my first novel finished. There were several other major turning points in my life when it was a big help. The other book I found incredibly helpful was Refuse to Choose -- since I'm a classic example of the type she calls a scanner (and other people describe as Renaissance people or Renaissance souls).
I still haven't gotten to Turkey to see her project, but I hope to one day. A few years back I did a cafe press site for her and put up this page: http://www.maverickphilanthropy.org

Hi, everybody, this is me, disguised as somebody else right now, because my profile broke for some reason.
Turil Cronburg: Funny how themes come up all over the place, all of a sudden like that, isn't it? The theme that the Universe seems to be holding in my face right now is "Hungry Ghost."
Shane M. Wheeler: Much too often it's about letting people know they can do more. one of my chief frustrations and hobbyhorses is the way people can be so limited by their beliefs. ("Excuse me! I resemble that remark!")
Sarah Shaw Tatoun: Eek! You know Jon Singer, too!? Hee hee. He's everywhere.... He's the one that actually put me onto Barbara Sher, I think.

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
