Monday, April 30, 2007   Creativity - May Tele-Gathering Dear Friends, I hope you can join me for our complimentary May Tele-Gathering this week. This gathering’s topic/theme is Creativity. We tend to think of creativity solely in relationship with art and artistic endeavors. However, art is only one form of creativity. In fact, every thought is creative. Every spoken word and every action are creative. Before you speak or take action, you begin with a thought. The airplane began as a thought. Computers came into existence due to someone’s idea (or thought!) Our thoughts become things. This applies as much to a teacher designing a lesson plan, an accountant doing taxes, a project manager writing a report or making a phone call, as it does to an artist putting a brush to a canvas, an inventor designing airplanes, or a doctor looking for a cure for cancer. We are all inherently creative beings – and our creativities take many forms. Our inquiry (questions to contemplate) for the call: What am I creating right now with my thoughts/beliefs/actions? How are these thoughts/beliefs/actions aligned with my highest good? What do I want to create? (in my life, for my self, for others, for the world) When am I being my most creative self? How do best I access my creativity? Call Date: Wednesday, May 2, 2007 Starting Time: 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern Call Duration: 1 hour Please RSVP if you plan to attend and I will email call instructions the morning of the call. In gratitude, Amy Labels: Other # posted by Amy L.

After researching their company and affiliations (there are a couple news articles about them, they are part of First Hawaiian Bank, and now partnering to offer discounts with companies like Simple shoes, Teva, WildlifeWorks clothing company and Organic Bouquet), I decided to sign up and am excited to receive my new card in the mail any day now! "Everyone uses a credit card, so why not have one where people can earn points towards positive products and services that enhances their overall conscious life?" - From the Enlightenment Card website BENEFITS 1. You can use your points for retreats, workshops, Yoga classes, organic products, books and a host of other health and wellness products, or you can donate your points to charity. 2. You get discounts when you use your Enlightenment Card to make purchases with their Partners. 3. Plus you get to choose for 8 different beautiful card designs, including Buddha, hands in prayer, and the mobius (or infinity symbol). DRAWBACKS 1. A fairly small and growing company, communication has been a bit slower than I prefer - although I admit I could easily have called them to check on my application status instead of wondering. Their contact information is easily located within their site, and in the confirmation email they send after you complete your online registration. 2. The APR is smidgen higher than larger credit card companies. However, I rationalize this in the following way... I don't intend to carry a balance and incur fees. And if I do carry a balance and incur fees, it would be so with any other card. With this card I can feel better about where those fees are going (as opposed to fees paid to Bank of America or another gigantic credit card company.) Overall, I think this is a great company with values I can stand behind. And that's why I share them with you here, in this forum. Take a look and decide for yourself!
