I'm stunned and I'm speechless. I could have not ask for better start for my Saturday… THIS is exactly what I've been thinking lately… I've found myself stressing over money, well not stressing, but thinking about it, thinking about ways to “cash on my passion”, when the driving force for me was helping others, making a difference… I could say many things, but I say this – Thanks Nate! You moved me.

Thanks for a great reminder, Teresa!

A while ago Age Concern asked for volunteers to teach housebound people how to use a computer to order groceries online, so they could get cheaper prices and better choice than sending friends or a carer to the local convenience store.

I sent in my application, was accepted and told to wait till it was all set up but I've not heard back, so I'll go chase them first thing tomorrow, 'cos I know this is a really useful thing to do!

I don't want to abuse this space, but we offer free listings for non-profit organisations who want to get the word out, so maybe we can work together.

Nate,
Great stuff to read today! I really felt like I've experienced this idea of starting small and changing my game this past year. It really came to a head this past summer, planning a public laughter event (in a crowded marketplace) to bring some extra joy and lightness into the world. That one event led to another. What a great way to get out of my normal environment, and really to feel connected to the world around me.

That was followed by creating an e-book for breast cancer research, and having over 150 bloggers from across the world contribute. This started as a small project between two people and quickly grew to something much bigger than either of us could have imagined. And it was so amazing to experience it all unfold (including late, late nights that definitely felt like work...but so, so worth it).

Currently, I'm working to connect up with another friend and blogger, to compete in some sort of road race this coming summer, and raise money for a charity in the process. This is something we are both deeply connected to, and working together on this has been soul-satisfying.

Nate, keep up all the amazing things you are doing!

Nate, thanks so much for two things:

(1) Your definition of ‘game changing’. It’s lovely to realize that one’s not compelled to jump from one cliche (’soul-killing cubicle job’) to another (‘wild free-wheeling entrepreneur’). I may define my own passion and success.
(2) Love the reality check on the renumeration front. And that that’s okay, too.

Have bookmarked ‘ItStartsWithUs’. Best wishes.

Your comment has me thinking about both directions. I have two distinctive interests blossoming and each approach seems to suit one of the interests…love it!
