So, I've been dragging my feet on finishing and launching The Green Wagon's online store. I couldn't figure out why I had lost steam and motivation for something that I used to feel super-charged by, so I started asking myself what I have been feeling passionate about lately. I do have passion for the book project/world trip project I've written about on this blog so far.
I was talking with The Green Wagon web guru, D'nelle, two days ago about this, and it all suddenly clicked together. I'm forming a non-profit that will (through donations and a % of sales from the website), fund the projects the grassroots environmentalists are working on all over the world....the grassroots environmentalists that I'll be interviewing, volunteering with and writing about on that trip around the world!
So much has changed in my life since I first opened the doors to the first Green Wagon almost three years ago, and I need the whole thing to evolve a little bit with me. Fusing these two projects together creates a symbiotic relationship that just plain makes sense & infuses both with more meaning and with the passion and motivation I've been seeking.
It is funny how if you sit with something long enough and patiently, it will start coming into focus! So, I'm introducing to you the non-profit branch of The Green Wagon that I am tentatively calling (until the paperwork all goes through & I know I can use that name) The Lorax Fund. This is my next step. I am as sure of it as I was of The Green Wagon when it was just an idea in my little ole noggin. Feeling happy and inspired today...and now I get to go play with Mister J, Miss M, and Baby N. I'm sure they'll give me some hilarious and insightful words of wisdom today that I can share later with you. Stay tuned.
