Most of my day is spent envisioning ideal environments.
Here's my life desires:
* Collaborative safe spaces for creativity, innovation and invention
* Surrounded by sweet people in vibrant communities supporting each other through interlaced networks
* A vibrant mix of flora and fauna respected and integrated with human life
* Low cost local energy production from existing materials and resources
* Easy to find resources without searching multiple websites and real world locations
* Immediate supply and material retrieval for projects
* Low cost exchanges and shipping of objects with little friction or time wasted
* Secure access to basic survival needs: water, air, food, shelter
* The right to cultivate and consume any food or medicine known to man that's still available and not extinct
* To be surrounded by beauty, filled with art, living in love
What do you want most? What do you need?
We are up against some epic challenges in these coming decades. We have each other and only this awareness that will chart our future. Where do you see us going?
Inspired by a look ahead ten years on Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120119369144313747.html
Start doing this NOW if we want to survive and thrive these next 50 years:
- Stimulate green industries and build local alt-energy solutions into daily life
- Challenge the US FDA, the WTO and World Health on issues regarding the Codex Alimentarius
- Local water purification systems available to all people (and animals, plants, ecosystem)
- Stop deadly practices like Mountaintop Removal and chemical dumping in our waterways in favor of clean mining
- Gut parts of the USPS and our local post offices (I'm a Postmasters' granddaughter -- this is heavy to say)
- Rethink our entire transportation system and reduce automobile use
- Work from home in virtual spaces, attend business gatherings without unnecessary travel
- Create a foundational framework for international transparency and governance that is decentralized and democratic for the vox populi
- Restore Habeas Corpus
- Provide universal internet access, public computers and basic training to all students at a young age
- Learn to see ourselves as infinitely abundant, free and capable of reshaping our experience
- Love without fail: no abandon, no boundaries.
Tell me your path, your desires, your challenges.

One thing I can say I want -- spurred on by my realization from the current Presidential campaign -- is for people to feel more empowered, overall, to make changes in their world. We feel so disconnected from the important decisions, and yet I'd say that the ordinary person is more powerful than ever, today. We need to be allowed to grow and explore that power.
