Hi Sandy,

I really thought i would find more people on this site!! I haven't checked it out since I went to the Compasionate network converence in Nov. I think it was.

I came talking about Nickeleville and how it could connect with a lot of issues.

I just recently came back from N. California from a Permaculture workshop and now am

certified in that. I came away with ideas for  Social Permaculture.  Compassion is a big part of that

vision for me.

I would love to talk about what each other is doing and the on the ground networks we could connect with.

Sustainable Ballard is a hot and rolling movement that is ripe for social justice and could use connections to everything going on in town.

With the election of Obama, a lot of things are going to roll in fast and furious.  I want to be ready to roll with my work.  I see lots of people doing green jobs, like Van Jones is talking about in his new book.

Good luck with what you are doing!!
