Meeting

Wednesday, May 6, 2009, 6:30 p.m.-7:45 p.m.

Of course, we talked about design during this meeting. It is all about design at the moment. We also discussed Construction Day including fencing/protection of the garden while still allowing it to be inviting, recruiting volunteers for Construction Day, 2nd Clean-up Day, and our list of needs for the garden.

One thing that is a blessing with the three of us working together is that things flow well. We always respect each other and allow each other to voice opinions. I (Shel) have noticed even if we may not necessarily agree with each other on how something should be done, sometimes we may not say we do not agree, and it is not really a big deal as things still work out very well. Being a part of the creation of this garden is allowing us to learn so much about ourselves and others.

I believe some of these things are realized and unrealized at this point. The goal is to be steadfast to completion and take this initiative to another level, spreading the love and education about self empowerment and the enormous potential for total self sufficiency for ourselves and the community. At the root of it all, the betterment of ourselves and the community is the most important thing.
